QDI ADVANCE 5/133 E AND P3 750 AND SLOCKET PROBLEMS-NEED HELP !!!!

[Olly]

Hi guys
I recently purchased a ready built combo of a QDI Advance 5/133E, P3 750 @ 1ghz , IWILL Slocket 2, and Golden orb. It had already been burned in by the person i got it off, but ive been having some problems lately, and want to check the configuration. First of all, on the motherboard, should the FSB be set at AUTO, 100 mhz or 133mhz ? Bearing in mind i am using a slocket ? Cuz i thought it should be set as AUTO on the board, and on the slocket at 133 FSB, with voltage of 1.85-1.9 ??? Is this correct ? Cuz at the moment i am trying to drop the FSB down to 100 to check it operates ok at 750 cuz had a few regirsty problems but can't seem to make it drop down. The system wasn't setup using softfsb or nething, jsut with slocket etc.. Also, when a motherboard manual normally says, for example, if there is a 2 pin jumper, OPEN means no pins connected, and CLOSED means the 2 pins connected using the jumper yea ? Anyone with experience with this board, overclocking the p3 750 or nething pleez help me. I am bit confused how the Slocket should be used and configured.

Thanks

The slocket will trick the motherboard into thinking the chip is whatever the slocket says, so if you want the motherboard to detect it as a regular 750MHz then change the slocket to show that (100MHz) and keep the BIOS at auto detection.

The 750 is not a very good overclocker and it doesn't surprise me it's unstable. They probably just got it to boot and said "OK, IT OVERCLOCKS TO 1 GIG" and sold it to you. More thorough burn-in and possibly higher voltage could help it though. Hitting 133 with the 750 at all is a feat for most.
