Hi all, After just recently upgrading my rig i decided to loan my XP Barton 2800+ to my cousin. Well, after installing the chip in his motherboard, i proceeded into the BIOS to change the FSB to 166 so it'd be detected correctly. Immediatley after selecting 166 the system crashes and spits out constant beeps. I then unplugged the rig for a minute, reset the BIOS and all was well again, until i tried it again. So this just happens in endless loops. So now the rig is operating at 1250Mhz instead of 2083Mhz. Any ideas? System specs: XP 2800+ Barton 1GB RAM ATi 9600XT 1 SATA and 1 IDE 1 DVD Burner 450W 12V+ @ 18A, 5V+ @ 50A, 3.3V+ @ 28A "Yum Cha" PSU. Although this is a no name PSU, i've verified it works properly in my new rig. Thanks Guys, pelvis_3 EDIT: I managed to get it to run at 2083 and i got into Windows, then soon after it restarts in endless loops. Sounds like a possible PSU issue to me. Agree?
Could it be the memory? this is something i have never been sure about, but most people say to me that your CPU's FSB must equal the the Mhz of your ram. I say im not sure, as my old system ran fine with diffrent FSB and Ram Speed
Yeah, i never thought of the RAM. I'll check that out, as he has three sticks of different sizes and speeds.
