On another note....maybe some pointers on any BIOS settings? I also have the latest BIOS revision (v1006).
What it's doing is when I press the power button, it's as if the power was cut. I've changed power supplies and even tested the processor on other friends boards that support it (on working systems, to ensure the processor is good). This is the only one that I've put it in that is an A7S333. If I am determined enough, I can keep trying (sometimes takes over 40 tries) and it'll come on, and hop me right into the BIOS and tell me the CPU settings aren't corrent and that it's running in some kind of BIOS Safe Mode so that I can adjust it to the proper settings. PLEASE HELP!

I need to know what jumper pins/switches I need to alter to make this work properly. I have to have it set at 1.1 GHz right now, just to let me get on here to make this post.....but it still gives me problems from time to time. The MAIN problem is when I turn the computer on (with the 1.47 GHz setting), it powers up just long enough to shut right back down (power wise).
I have been told that I may have to mess with the DSW (CPU External Frequency Selection). It is currently set to all switches OFF, which is 100/100.
Please help me guyz...my Gigabyte MB just took a major digger on me and this MB is my last hope. Please respond soon.

I tried to edit the above post so I could make it more descriptive, but it wouldn't allow me. It's difficult to explain, but what I wanted to add (but couldn't, cause I'm fumbling for words) is:
What it's doing is when I press the power button, it's as if the power was cut (it starts just for a second or two...maybe four, then dies).
Then it continues on into the BIOS, telling me the CPU settings aren't correct. I've tried the three varieties I have on CPU External Frequency Selection: OFF, OFF, ON, ON then ON, ON, ON, OFF then OFF, ON, ON, OFF then OFF, ON, OFF, OFF then OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF....but I did those selections when the computer was already locked in that SHUT OFF mode. In other words, when I tried those settings, I didn't give the computer a chance to load back up (multiple tries each time...would have taken BIG time). I need to be sure what settings I need to use for this processor.
