Hello everyone,

I was motivated by this comment at CPU Upgrade to try to install a 1.4GHz 512k Tualatin on a MSI 815EPT Pro board, even though it shows in the table as not supported:

"2019-06-29 00:41:50
Posted by: VENOM
I started the P III-S 1400MHz processor (SL6BY) on this mobo (BIOS ver. 7.4) at regular frequencies. Moreover, this processor accelerates under Win'98SE with regular FuzzyLogic4 utility up to 1600MHz."

https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-MSI/815EPT_Pro_%28MS-6337%29.html

I successfully updated the BIOS to version 7.4, posting and booting right after with my previous CPU into Windows 98SE. However as soon as I switched to the Tualatin it never booted.

Does this user "VENOM" by any chance uses this forum or does anyone know how to contact him, or a solution as to how he might have made it work? A custom BIOS maybe?

Many thanks for all your help and replies

In order to touch on all the possibilities to find a solution, is there a particular place in these forums where I could ask for someone to help me regarding modifying the BIOS?
