Ok I have a Bf6 motherboard with a PIII 1000 for over a year. Everthing worked fine. Now nothing was added new or changed. Just one day it did not boot, would not post. Just a black screen. So I tested all the memory in my other computer, a BE6. All the memory was fine I put a cel 300 in the BF6 and it booted and posted fine. So I thought it was the CPU. I got a RMA # and was ready to pack it up to send for a new one. BUT I thought let me do a test and put the PIII 1000 in the BE6 to see it it would work. I did not think it would. Well it did work it booted right up and went right into windows. So I thought well its not bad after all. So I put it back into the BF6 still it will not boot or post. yet a Cel 300 will Now I dont understand this why would this not work in the BF6 the same motherboard it has been working in fine for the last year. But work fine in the BE6. I am going back and forth trying to get it to work. I thought that maybe the motherboard (bf6) was bad but if the cel 300 works fine. Can any one help me with this. You can even email me if you like at Thanks Anna

Anna, it sounds like bad capacitors on the BF6 which will allow a lesser cpu to run *sometimes* but higher speed cpu's won't. see these links and then get a flashlight out and take a close look at the caps. the links below also point to a couple of guys that do mobo repairs. I can speak for the work Homie does first hand on several boards as can numerous folks that have posted here in the group.

Since you posted THREE different subject headers, I'll answer this way.

Probably the motherboard!
