Does the PC power on to bios when the AMD chips are installed?  If not I
suspect the chips themselves aren't quite set right in their socket. Try
resetting them am make sure they are situated tight.  I ran into a
similar problem with a k62-300, when upgrading, the ZIF socket closed
and I thought the chip was seated, but no boot.  After some twisting and
turning I finally got it to seat and no more problems.  The only other
suggestion I have is to double check your voltage settings.  --You could
also try running one of the AMD's underclocked on the Pentium 166
settings to see if the problem persists, if so, then you know it's not
the mobo.
