I just got a new setup but having problems getting the cpu to show right.
Dont understand all the BIOS business so I'll try and explain how far I got..
AMD 3200+
2x 512 DDR 400
M848A (2.1) mobo (400fsb)
400w psu
geforce 6800 128mb (requires 400w psu)
DVD-R/RW
80gb seagate
Everything is new.
If I let BIOS correctly detect the 3200+ then after a mem check, the pc reboots or hangs completely with the monitor blinking on and off and I have to clear the BIOS.
To start with the pc wouldnt boot at all and I had to work up in steps (this is with the DRAM freq automatically mirroring the CPU freq):
100 ok
180 ok
185 ok
190 ok (as 2800+)
195 - boots but bluescreens in windows - 'IRQL not less equal)
200 - No windows, blinking monitor = BIOS clear needed
So 190 is the only setting atm I can use for a stable system.
Here are my BIOS options:
Detect CPU freq - auto/manual
CPU freq (100-200 max)
Auto detect DRAM freq
CPU/DRAM clock ratio (1:1,1:2,2:3,10:9,3:4,3:5,4:5,5:6,8:9,4:3,5:4,6:5)
DRAM freq
DRAM Timing config (safe,normal, fast etc)
There are no settings to change the voltage.
TIA - Im desperate!!
