My athlon xp 2600+ only operates at 1.67GHz. When I set my cpu to run at the rp rating of 2.13GHz, I have problems ranging from automatic shutdowns which occur both in windows and during the dos boot up menu, and on some ocassions when I start my pc I get a blank screen but the fan and power is running fine.
When this happens the green light stays on in my case and then I have to turn off my pc from the power source to be able to restart it again and then I find it it enters bios automatically and goes to the menu for adjusting speed settings.
When I run it at 1.67 GHz all these problems dissapear.
I have recently upgraded all my hardware except for the case and PSU. I am using an Asus A7V8X-X motherboard that was recomended by amd on their site along with 1 gig of ram consisting of two 512k pc 2700 DDR generic ram. I am not sure that being generic this is the issue, but I am suspecting either ram or PSU as the problem. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks
