I ran memtest86 today on my ram after suspecting my motherboard then my CPU of being faulty..
The problem was that my motherboard wouldnt recognise my CPU as an XP2000+ (full problem is listed in the "here we go again" thread) it would only recognise it as a 1666Mhz duron or a 1250 mhz duron.. well today it said it was a 1400mhz..![]()
Would faulty ram affect the system so much as to make the motherboard unable to recognise the CPU?

Would almost certainly be down to the mobo BIOS, do you have the latest one? May be try reflashing/redownloading. Be sure to set defaults and the retweak after flashing too, some people find that best. I thin you may have to try each of your parts in a known working PC to find the culprit. What's your system spec, does your mobo support the FSB and/or CPU type (eg Pally, TbredA, TbredB, Thorton) and finally are you sure your CPU is a true XP2000+.
