hello,
i just got my new system:
abit kx7-333
amd athlon xp 2000+
512MB DDR-2700
Gainward G-Force4 Ti 4600
Hecules Gaming Theater XP 6.1
- ok this is what is happening... i just finished putting it together and when i turn it on for the first time the first strange occurence i get is that it says my processor is a 1250 Mhz ???!!! it registers the RAM fine and detects my HDD, DVD, and CD-R... then it gives me a checksum error and I go into the BIOS to change the time/date and when i hit 'save and exit', 'y', the computer reboots, but just sits there and does nothing, i just get my monitor with an orange light instead of green, like the computer is turned off... but its still on... and when i give it a cold shutdown and turn it back on it just does the same thing...sits there like its not even on... the only way i can get the computer to do anything is if i clear the CMOS and boot it back up... then the cycle repeats... however if i dont go into the BIOS, by hitting F1 instead of DEL, after the checksum error, the computer continues on its merry way as 'normal' ... though it still sees my proc as a 1250... when it should be like what? 1670 or something?... i didnt want to load an OS yet since the BIOS and proc stuff is weird, please if anyone can help me i would be greatful, thanks...
