is my fsb vs mobo causing freeze

[lob_on]

when my cdrw (liteon) reads or writes it locks up to a black screen or just freezes. running win me.
tried using clone and nero and two different cdroms, still crash.
changed ram . i have upgraded my cpu as last one died, but this runs at 266fsb and my mobo runs at 200fsb. could this be the prob??
if so how do i get around it apart from buying new mobo. bloody dear just to
check!!
help appreciated.............tia
h/drive and cd rom set to dma and 256mbs ram in!:(

OK, we'll need much more info about ur system. what is the CPU ur currently running in type & MHz, what is the motherboard, what are ur temps at full load. is ur CPU overclocked? what is ur core voltage and PSU?
U should make a sig, like mine or anyone elses for that matter that will list all ur hardware so we can help u out more easily.
so far all I can say is check for high temps, if they are over 50C start worry, if they're over 60C then start panicing and look for a better way to cool off ur CPU b4 it burns out!

BTW: Welcome to the forums!

i got a amd athlon 1333 mhz chip unclocked but running it on a jetway aspro633 200fsb the athlon is a 266fsb chip .
riva tnt 2 ultra
256 mbs ram/ had 128 and 512ms seperatly still same
win me
liteon x24 cdrw/generic dvd rom drive both still freezing on either with only one connected.
i've formattted twice fresh installs!! win me and win98
only started since i got this chip(athlon1333) i used to run a 1200 athlon 200 fsb no probs/ no freezing.

its got to be mobo, this 1333 will only run at 1ghz due to fsb differences.................i think i'm gonna get me a new mobo as i can't see them taking the cpu back (artic silvered up). my bloody brother bought it for me under instruction to buy a 200fsb chip. the geezer gave him a damn 266 .

That seems like the best way to go. With mobo prices lower than usually, you shouldn't have a problem finding a good deal.

You need a board that supports a 266 mhz athlons. Your board might have jumpers on it to change it from 100/200 to 133/266. Check it out. If not, the board or the chip has to go:(

yes i think you must change your mobo into
266 fsb
you can choose epox.abit.or the ecs one it's a value one
