Unfortunetely i have the same problem with a brand new Tbred2100+ in my EPoX 8K7A Rev1.1 !!!

I've flashed the 2923Beta BIOS.

Which FSB have you setted by the jumper ?

133 or 100 ??? Because my sytem only works, when i set 100 Mhz ! By setting 133 it doesn't boot !

The diagnostic LED shows FF, the ventilators are rolling, but that's all ! (

I bought this CPU so as to UPGRADE my system, but this seems a DOWNgrade to me now !!! (

Some friends of mine use the same mobo with a Tbred, but their whole system is perfectly correct !
I dont know why your and my isn't !

As i know, only Rev1.1 mobos can recognize Tbred CPUs ! So IT SHOULD WORK !!!

But -i guess- this mobo dont know this fact !
