Tech specs:

Abit KT7A Mobo
Duron 750Mhz (100x7.5) (AKCA 0049 WPAW)
Coolermaster CPU-cooler 5500rpm
384MB 133Mhz SDRAM
Voodoo3 2000 PCI, 16MB RAM
Soundblaster 128 PCI
HDD 0: Seagate Barracuda 30GB 7200rpm
HDD 1: Maxtor 3,2GB 5400rpm

I've 2 questions for all of you, so please don't hesitate if you know an answer!!!

1st:
My processor is currently running at 825Mhz (110x7.5, VCore value 1.63V). Attempts to raise the FSB more then 10 resulted in a Windows hang up :( . Ik can hear a beep and see the dos-prompts when starting up, but Windows isn't coming any further then the login-screen. Raising the FSB in one time to 133Mhz causes the computer to not start up at all (cmos reset required).
Can somebody tell me what can cause this problem cause I'm dying to overclock my Duron due to the stats I've seen (an overclockaverage of 962Mhz :cool: )

2nd:
The multiplier cannot be changed due to the lock AMD has put onto it. Can somebody tell me how he unlocked his cpu, cause I have heard a story about connecting the L1-Bridges with a pencil, but after 4 times it still didn't work. And a Duron 750 AKCA is told to be one of the most overclocked cpu's therefore mine has got to be overclocked too!!!

Your Voodoo is the problem for question #1. I'm pretty sure that it is the prob but I don't know a good solution, try another AGP?

#2: Look for a guide on main page, it's simpe. you have to connect them , use a #2 pencil or if u want a pro-job get a conductive MICRO TIP pen. From this: L1 :::: to this L1 |||| Got it? (DO NOT DO THIS |/|||, NO CROSS)

It took me about 5 tries to finally successfully unlock a 1 gig tbird I had. Keep trying and take your time. You'll get it eventually.

good luck

5 Tries?? Did you try it with a pencil that just didn't hold?
