I am currently having booting issues with my new AMD XP 1900+.
Problem: When I turn my computer on for the first time from a cold start, it does not boot up. I can hear the harddrives start spinning, but the screen goes blank and the monitor seems to go into standby or power-saver mode. It I try to turn the computer off and back on using the case switch, it won't do anything...it always goes to a blank screen and does nothing. This also happens when I make a change in my CMOS, and then quit. The settings are saved, but screen goes blank and the monitor light blinks.
If I pull the plug on my power supply when it's stuck in this mode, and then plug it back in, the computer starts right up and boots fine. I get into windows 2000 with no problems. I can even hit "Restart" and the computer boots right back up with no problems. HOwever if I decide to shut down completely, I run into the same problem all over again as described above.
Also worth mentioning is that this only appears to be happening when I choose a FSB of 133. I can choose any processor speed I want, when the FSB is 133 this booting stuff happens. When I chose an FSB of 100, al these booting issues disappear.
My system:
CPU: AMD XP 1900+
Motherboard: Abit KG7-Raid (I have raid disabled for now)
Memory: 1 512Meg chip (Samsung ECC DDR-266 chip inserted into slot 4 on this board)
Powersupply: 400W Antec
Heat: 45-52. I know this is a little high and I'm working on it. Shouldn't cause this problem though.
Bios: Lastest that Abit offers at their site
Drivers: Latest that Abit offers at their site.
CMOS Settings:
CPU Speed: 1600
FSB Speed 133
Multiplier: 10.5
FSB Rate(CPU:SDRAM:PCI) 4:4:1 (This is another difference between FSB133 and FSB100). When I select a FSB of 100, this value goes to 3:3:1.
Vcore: 1.75V
Current I/O: 3.50V
DDR Vcc Voltage: 2.65V
Does anyone have any ideas? I can't keep doing what I'm doing to boot up every time. Please help!!!!
Thank you.
