12426 2001-05-10 09:55:00 I am on a steep learning curve and keep falling off. PROBLEM: I have tried changing my CPU from a Cyrix PR200 MMX to an AMD K6-2 300. Immediately on starting I get the error message on the monitor: 'NO INPUT, check connectors or computer.' I have a P12+ motherboard (Octek Rhino 12+). I have set jumpers according to the book: JP1's to 2.2 core volts, JBF's to 1-2 1-2 1-2 (which I assume is x4.5) and left the front bus speed at 66MHz. I have a Virge S3 for 2D and a VoodooII for 3D. The P12+ m/b manual tells me it is compatible with K6's. The Voodoo II says the same. The BIOS is Award v 4.51PG.
Can you offer any advice please, cause I am fresh out of ideas. Thanks.

12427 2001-05-10 12:36:00 your motherboard supports the k6 cpu not the k6-2. you will need a bios upgrade. however i could not find one on their alfull web sites. have a search around u may get lucky. Guest (0)
12428 2001-05-11 00:03:00 Yep, thanks. It looks that way alright.
Interestingly, in the manual at octek.com.hk (in PDF) there is a handwritten note under their table of jumper settings that says 'k6-300'. This lends credence to your thought. Thanks.
