PS I also disconected everything to make sure that the video or the sound wast causing the prob and no change It just comes on runs for about 3 sec then I get a BIOS beep then shuts off

Did you unplug the power cord when resetting the CMOS?

3 of my mobos require me to do this in order to reset it.

yes I did

You probably did this but I throw it out there anyway..leave the shunt off for at least 10 seconds?

what shunt? and which would I have more likely fried the cpu or the MBO

The A7V133 has no shunt it has that pain in the ass area where you have to use a flathead screwdriver. As far as just changing the FSB that would only cause it not to boot,I sometimes get the bios checksum error,in which case you need to unplug power the clear cmos.Do you get any bios screen at all?You might have fried your bios chip if you didn't unplug the power first.

NO It comes on for about 3 sec then shut off after a single BIOS beep no post at all

It worked fine until I bump the MHZ to 1500 Then I restarted And it wont come on at all now no post or anything. If I hold the reset button in it will stay running still no post as soon as i release the reset button the BIOS beeps once then the whole PC shut down. I cleared the CMOS with the solder points.I let it set overnight without any power or battery.I guess Ill have to by a new CPU or MBO.:-{

Well I cant figure this one out ,so I bought a new MBO epox 8k7a+ and more memory.Hope my problem is not my processor.
