New A7A266 HELP!!

[cookedcomp]

I'm not fimiliar with this board at all! i'm used to my a7v133, but this is totaly different!
ok here is my board:
a7a266
10 dip's
no audio
running with a Duron 700/200 FSB
256Mb PC 2100 Brand name
asus v7700 64meg
USrobotics 56k
Fugitsu HDD'S
my temps are stable @
mobo : 24C
cpu: 42C
my proble is that i can't get the FSB past 127MHz and i can't get the multiplyers in the bios even though there there on the board! I can get a post at 133MHz but windows freezes P.S. i can only get 1.7 Volts. any help very much appreciated. (NO MODDING IDEA'S!!! i just lost my a7v133 to that !)

When your geting that 127mhz fsb what else did you have in the system? Id try first with just the mobo/processor graphics card and ram. See what your setup can do and as you add the other back on 1by1 you might find out somethng silly like a cheap soundcard is holding you back. Also perhaps heat is a problem what heatsink are you using to cool that cpu? Perhaps your ram is slow have you tried it with another stick of ram? Try seting the ram to cas 3 if its not already. That is if your running SDRAM... If your running DDR try tweaking the memory timings. As for bumping up the voltage I would read the manual I'm sure it will tell you. If not in the bios then in a jumper.

if i remembered correctly u should be able to adjust the multiplier in the bios affter u turn dip 10 to on position....


probably wrong but......oh well.......correct me if i m wrong

No, you will only be able to adjust the multiplier thru the dip switches not the bios. The only people I've seen that are able to adjust the multiplier thru the bios are those with the older A7A's with the 4 dip switches. And this is after they solder a wire across the connectors where the # 10 dip would have been.

The multiplier is changed through the dip switches. There should have been an insert in your manual that tells you which position gives you which setting.

The voltage can be changed through the bios when you're in jumperfree mode.

drop the mult down, but also increase the voltage manually by altering the L7 bridges on the chip. Colour all of them in in the same fashion as the L1 is coloured in - you may be able to boot at 7 x 133 then.

You will be better though to drop to 6x multiplier (or 5.5 if supported) and go for some ballsout action past 160Mhz FSB
