Hi.
Bro's comp:
xp1800 (pally)
Abit KG7-RAID
256mb DDR pc2700 (generic)
20gb hdd
4gb hdd
voodoo 5 PCI![]()
Sound blaster! live
generic 300w PSU
*i know he should get a new PSU, gfx, mobo, more RAM*
He got a bit into overclocking (taking the dark side....) As i was installing win98 i said he could use my Sammy pc2700 as it goes to 200fsb.
Swapped it, turned on got one long beep after another. arse! Swapped it back for the generic. same thing. d'oh! Tried with the basic set up, still the same.
I think that for an Abit mobo its the RAM that is causing the error, but both work in my NF7-S (sammy and generic) so is it the DIMMS that are gone? *didnt hear any loud cracks when i put the RAM in.....*
Reset the CMOS lots, and taken the battery out
Any help much appreciated.
Will

still no luck.
Abit KG7 RAID is AMD761 right? AFAIK that was only designed for PC2100 and 266FSB, certainly not 400FSB (2x200mhz) which even PC2700 isn't designed for (that's 333mhz). A Pally XP1800+ is locked (11.5x) and very hot without o/c'ing, expect it to top out at 1.7ghz and probably before (that runs about as hot as an XP3200+). If you were o/c'ing for gaming perf forget it as the Voodoo5 is around GF2MX/GTS and will be seriously bottlenecking gaming perf. Anyway if you tried 400FSB you will almost certainly have killed the mobo, CPU and possibly RAM. It's a matter of testing each part in a working PC to find out what's shot.
