Opti Viper motherboard won't take Pentium properly

[klintman]

I have an Opti Viper motherboard and I put a 166 processor in it. However, when I set the board for 66.6Mhz and 2.5x, the computer doesn't boot up. Instead I get a checksum error. The closest I can get is 120 (60Mhz and 2x).

It has an Award BIOS. How can I get the board to take the processor correctly? I'm pretty much stumpped.

Thanks for the help.

If you need any more info, let me know.

No support over 133 MHz..


Here are a few resources:

Condor is right,that oldely motherboard doesn't worth time You have spent.
Maximum what You may have on that motherboard it's 166 CPU working as 133 (66x2)...
