CUSL-2C

[Scott]

Hello:

I have a friends machine here which is running with the CUSL-2C and a PIII
866 chip. During the boot up process, black screen, it says 433E. The
problem is that it won't boot into Windows at all. It keeps going to the
BIOS. I select 866, it does no good cause when I reboot it, the machine just
boots back to the bios. It won't hold the setting. Also it keeps saying that
the VCore is set to high. It is set to 1.7 which is the lowest. I am at a
loss and not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

Most likely a corrupted cmos and perhaps dead cmos battery. I've seen
weird results just because of the battery. In the manual, it should show
where the cmos reset/clear jumper is. Take out the battery, disconnect
the power cord, and set it to clear for about 20 seconds. If that
doesn't remedy it, I would suggest checking the cpu or ram, as those
would be the only other culprits in this situation.

Hope it helps.
