Im not sure about this board, but was it jumpered? or is it multiplier 
all done in software?

heh, nice cross posting, next time limit it a tad, you've broken at 
least one group charter.

 First question,have you updated your MB with the latest bios so that it may
support the new processor.  I ask this because the way I read the Abit site
 http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=97 ,
the VA6 supports up to 733MHZ.  This was most likely the original
configuration for the board so that's why I suggest upgrading your bios.  If
you have upgraded and are still having the same problem my guess would be
that you have a faulty processor.  I'm assuming this since you have tried
the same processor in two different MBs and have gotten the same results
I would contact your vendor and tell them your problem.  Perhaps they will
send you a replacement processor.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.

Try reading your motherboard specs before upgrades---from what info you give 
(abit va6)
it would seem reasonable from the user manual from abit
http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/download/dlmanual.php?name=VA6&file=va6.pdf
that you have been overclocking as the max speed cpu is given as p3  450-733 
(100&133 FSB)  p2 233-450 (66&100FSB)  Celeron 266-533 (66 FSB)
However it does state that it "reserves the support for future p3 cpu"
assuming you have the latest "update" (bios) and you say it ran your celeron 
950--check your wiring---either that or it is toast
personally i would quit wasting time with it and aquire something more 
recent (finances allowing)

Next time try changing one thing at a time, then testing. Your approach to
upgrading seems similar to your approach to crossposting, not the best.

Can't help you, too many changes, too little info.

It's the power supply.  You don't even get the fan running, and you get a
dim light on a separate board.  Sounds to me it's either the power supply
doesn't have enough juice for your new computer, or the power supply just
died.  You need around 300 - 350W minimum to run the Pentium III and all the
drives reliably.  You can by the power supply separately from the case.
Just make sure it's an ATX form factor.

Nah, 250W is good enough for a PIII. Got
a system like that here filled with components
(3 HDD, 3 sticks of RAM, 5 cards, DVD-ROM,
FDD, and overclocked)  that's been doing just fine 
for years, using a cheap 250W PSU .

You neglected to mention the 15 hectare refrigeration plant it's housed in.

It was the power supply. Got a new 400W power supply and all running fine 
now.

Refrigeration plant???
The CPU never goes above 42C,  I don't even have
a case fan, just a simple CPU FHS. The hard-drives
though do go to near 50C sometimes, usually around
45C. Nothing fancy or expensive about
this system, the most expensive thing in it is the old
Abit motherboard, custom built of course. The only
caveat I'll add is that my graphics card is very old,
about 6 years old, so it doesn't use that much power.

If you're not playing Doom III, I guess it doesn't really matter about
the graphics card.

no wonder it was expensive, a custom built motherboard... sheesh.

I assume you're just missing a :)?
I dont remember a P3 with stock cooling ever going over that... hell, I 
had a heavily overclocked Celeron 400(@672 6 x 112) that didnt go much 
over 42C

You just don't get it, do you?  We're talking P III,
not P IV, not to mention that your statements alluding
to heat have nothing to do with PSU wattage
needed for a P III system.

Wonder if the power startup lead has come loose from the mobo ?, that
could lead to those symtoms :)

Pushing button nothing happens :p

PSU. I've had a few go when doing things like this. Not many, but a
few.
