CUSL2-C

[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.

My CUSL2-M recently went belly up, same sort of odd symptoms--noticed
that numerous capacitors on the motherboard (near CPU, and others) had
leaked, bulged. Was simpler (though not cheaper) and less time consuming
to upgrade to new system--was for work, so could not contunie to try
reinstalls/repairs.

If not age/capacitors: power supply? Power supplies also have
capacitors within, and other parts that can give out.

Thermal compound dry, no longer effective?

Other mechanical issues: dust buildup, corrosion, etc?

HTH,

maybe wrong cpu bus setting or a dead bios battery?
CUSL-2C is a older mobo battery might be very low
