Chas, I think you can help with this. I have been struggling with it for over a year. Motherboard is a Tyan Tiger 133 S1834 dual processor. It supposedly supports dual Coppermine 933 Slot 1 processors, so I bought a pair. It works fine, albeit slow with PII 450MHz processor. The problem is I bought a pair of Coppermine 933/256/133/1.7v S1 processors
(SL4BT) and cannot get Windows 2000 (SP4 and fully patched) to boot.
The video card is Nvidia Geforce3, I had SCSI
drives on Adaptec 2940OUW and changed over to Maxtor ATA133, no help. The computer also has an IBM ISA modem and 3COM 905c NIC and a Sony CDR.
When I put one of the 933’s in the slot it boots up to a partial memory check, retry and it goes to another part of memory check. So
I ran MemTest 586 (2@ 256MB) with the 450MHz processor for 24 hours, no problem.
Then I tried the other 933 CPU boots up and tries to start Windows 2K, but errs out:
*** Stop: 0X0000000A (0XCA535CCI, 0X00000002, 0X00000001, 0X804434D8)IRQL_NOT_LESSOR_EQUAL
*** Address 804434D8 base set 80400000, DateStamp 3ee6c002-ntoskrnl.exe
I loaded the “Failsafe Defaults” in BIOS and tried to go into Safemode, and it errs out:
*** Stop: 0X0000001E (0XC0000005, 0X80509466,
0X00000001, 0X00000008)KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
*** Address 80509466 base set 80400000, DateStamp 3ee6c002-ntoskrnl.exe
Any ideas will bre greatly appreciated,
Peter
