I have a BX6 Ver 2.0, 128 Meg, voodoo3000 AGP, SB LIve, and USR CabeModem,, and I am havin some fun with this.. I have a PII300 that ran stable as hell at 450 with my BH6.. so I have been trying to figure out what is going on.. before I upgraded to the BX6 I have been having some trouble. what happens is. with no real warning or nothing.. the machine resets itself.. and to make matters worse I am at a loss in try to figure it out.. I have changed , ram, MB, SoundCard, Video Card, HD,Power Supply, even tried a diff CPU. a Celeron466.. I left a voltage tester on my line to see if I was Browning out and still no... but it still reset's.. muy running temp is around 45-50 ? is that high.. for a PII.. please anyone else have this happening >>

Thanks

The BX6 R2 uses the thermal probe for controlling the fan speed of the CPU fan also. You might want to switch to one of the other CPU fan connectors on the board if you are currently using the CPUFAN connector. I found some odd problems when I had a two wire fan (no RPM sensor) hooked to the CPUFAN connector so perhaps you have something similar happening here.

I had an older computer do the same thing. I took it to a local repair shop and the guy said the motherboard had died. Since your motherboard is new it might not be that, but its just a thought.

COMPUTER RESETING~THE SAME THING HAVE BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY COMPUTER!!!!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

my system:
soyo sy-6ke motherboard
celeron 400 cpu
128mb pc100 sdram
voodoo3 2000 agp adapter

a friend told me this in the intel celeron forum:

V3 requires an IRQ and if the motherboard bios supports it you need to enable Assign IRQ to VGA in the bios.

How about the CPU fan? If your using the same fan on both cpu's.

I had a bad fan on my old celeron once, when the fan slows down past a certain point, the BH6 senses it and will kill power. Sometimes it would even reboot, until finally the thing died. I put a new fan on it and .......... off to the races again.

Worth trying!

Did you reformat your hard drive after you changed the motherboard? I had the same problem after changing a motherboard. I was trying to use the hard drive that had been on the old mobo. The 2 boards were dissimilar and it would not settle down. Everytime I would reboot I would get a different error message and if I looked in device manager, there would be multiple entries for drives, modems, etc. After reformating to the new mobo and reinstalling the OS all worked fine.

had same problem with bh6. in bios setup, loaded default settings, restarted and everything was fine. after i optimized the bios settings again, everything stayed fine.

i learned some new things (voodoo3 only)
in cmos:
you have to disable:
"video bios shadow"
"video bios cache"
"video pallette snoop"
"video dac snoop"
and you have to enable:
"assign irq for vga"
