P3B-F bootup error message

[Richard Morris]

Have a P3B-F that had a Celeron 500 in an adapter card. Used to work
fine.

I tried to upgrade to a Pentium III from my daughter's Gateway that
had a toasted motherboard. When I inserted into the adapter card and
into the MB, I get a high/low tone oscillating, and nothing else. This
is not listed as an error message anywhere on the ASUS site (that I've
found, at least.)

After checking, the original adapter card does not accomodate FCPGA
(like the PIII)

I have upgraded to a 'Super Slocket-III' card that supports the PIII.
Same results! AND, the original card and Celeron 500 now produces the
same result. But a Celeron 333 will allow the system to boot.

I have updated to the 1006 BIOS, and have the 1008 but haven't loaded
it yet.

The P3B-F is set to automatically detect the CPU, as is the adapter
card.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance!

As hth pointed out in your other thread, it sound like an improper
voltage setting? You do not provide enough information for specific
suggestions, specifically, which Intel PIII are you trying to use?

I do not believe the P3B-F can "automatically detect the CPU" on a Slocket?
