CPU problem :(

[Auron]

I cant get my motherboard to recognise my XP2000+, I can get it to recognise it as an Athlon XP (by setting VCore [I think] to 1.6v)

but only ever comes up as 1250MHz, and I cant get the system to boot.

any ideas? im completely lost here

Motherboard: Soltek SL75-FRN-L

Have you checked the fsb? It is more then likely that the board is running it at 100fsb when it needs to be at 133 . Give it a try .

thats got it recognised as a 2000+ (I went and checked after id posted... DUH :S)

but in windows (havent check anywhere else) on the my computer properties screen it shows up as an AMD Athlon XP 1.25GHz.

Do I need to change something in the BIOS? (never dabbled with o/cing etc.

Did u change the Fsb in the bios?

[Auron]

Yus, i believe so.

[liquid-fix]

Where is it registered as XP2000 ?

[Auron]

on boot.

[liquid-fix]

Should be fine then , Try SiSoft sandra or something similiar to get an indication of actual clock speed, should be around 1.6ghz (dont hold me to that)

should be 1.667Ghz, is it a thourghbred or a palomino coz the vcore for pal is 1.75 i think.

If it picks it up on boot as a 2000 it should be fine. Get WCPUID and check

according to the way my manual describes how to work the voltage out t should be at 1.6v

Spot the prat who forgot to set the Multiplier from Default to 12.5

[Platty]

[Auron]
