Long time ago, it was my first recap - a JetWay V266B mainboard, featuring KT266A chipset and Socket A compatible. The mobo recap went well, stability was regained and it can be even well overclocked.
However I did mod the bios a little - just changing the settings to what I usually set them, so bios reset was no issue and moving the default start date to present. That was it. However just recently I noticed the AXP 2800+ CPU (run at 146 x 12.5 ATM - so it show itself as AXP 2200+) with Barton core lack SSE:
And that is kinda weird. What could have caused it? Before it was NOT like this at all, there is the old screenshot:
...and as you can see, SSE is present.
The original bios I used to mod is there: http://ax2.old-cans.com/V266BA13.ZIP
The moded bios by latest ModBin & me is there: http://ax2.old-cans.com/V266BA14.ZIP
And the question is WHY?!
Oh, BTW, there is one more thing beside the bios mod. I was tried to force the CPU to x14 multiplier by hardwiring the CPU pins bellow the CPU socket. (using this guide: http://www.ocinside.de/html/workshop...md_pinmod.html ) It won't work, sadly, but could be affect the CPU instruction set features?
I used the CPU MSR to force enable SSE, and as soon as FFD show decoder stated to use it, the machine hard-crashed
Anyone who can tell me, what the hell went wrong?
