First i wanna say hello to everyone. Been cruising these boards for a couple weeks and learning alot of information. Finally got around to registering, so here i am
Now on to the meat of my post.
A few months ago i bought some cheap components for a 2nd PC to have around. I got the following
AMD XP 1700
Asus A7S333
1 x 512 2100 DDR
Now, the problem i'm having is the motherboard recognizes the AMD as 1700, but will not run it at 1.4GHz (11 x 133). I currently have it set to 1GHz (11x100). I have tried everything but if i set it anywhere above 1GHz the pc just shuts off during boot or if it happens to make it to windows. There are jumper settings on the motherboard for the FSB or you can set it to manual and play with the FSB speeds in the BIOS. Either way, i still cannot get it to run higher than 1GHz.
Anyone know what could be causing this problem? It's really frustrating. Another interesting note is i downloaded the PC Wizard 03 and CPUZ. CPUZ will display my processor like it should, but when i run the PC Wizard 03, it displays all my system information except for the processor tab. It just says "Analyzing system settings" or whatever and just sits there forever not doing anything. It's as if my motherboard won't play nice with my processor.
Anyhow, any help would be appreciated and i'll provide any information you guys need to help.
Thanks
