edited May 2005 in Hardware
I have this old mobo and it uses jumpers for the Freq. It's suppose to be 1-2 2-3 for 133 or something light that, and 1-2 1-2 is for 100mhz, 2-3 2-3 is for 200mhz. I put it on 1-2 1-2 and it runs at 1900+. I put it on 1-2 2-3 and it shows 2500+ which is what I have but when I have it on there the PC will just automatically shut down right when the Welcome screen shows. EVeytime. I think this was the cause of my problem when the PC would shut off randomly. Does anyone know why it wont let me run it on 2500+ could there be something wrong with the CPU?

    if it is old it might not support the CPU with out a bios update

    or it might not support the CPU at all

    its that one

    when I tried installing office Xp it just shut the PC down the same way. I would have to pull the plug until the light in the front goes off, then i plug it back on.

    Edit

    I tried the lowest at 1100Mhz and it installed To much load?

    what type of RAM do you have

    crappy RAM can do this also

    or RAM that is overclocked is the RAM speed locked with the FSB?

    opps missread the manuel :banghead:

    Check CAS and CAS\RAS ratios, also cleanliness of sockets for RAM. Consider MORE RAM also (say total of a GIG to 2 GIG for gaming a lot). Suggesting strongly, not demanding.

    try running memtest on it

    the board might not like the RAM

    that chipset is tempermental with RAM

    if I remenber correctly

    also try relaxing the timing on the RAM

    don't forget to update the bios to the latest, if you have not already done so
