I just built a new system.

AMD Barton 3200+
Soyo KT600 Dragon Plus v2.0
Radeon 9800Pro 256mb

I got the system up and running fine, but the bus was only at 100mhz so i was only running 1.05 ghz. I can't change bus through the bios, had to do it with jumpers. When I change the bus to 133,166 or 200 windows doesn't load. It goes through the system check but when it starts to load windows the computer just reboots?

I have no idea what the problem is and have played around with the bios (i can't adjust multiplier either).

Any advice would be greatly greatly appreciated

this board require DDR400 to run the CPU with FSB400.

what type or RAM do you have?

also check your jumpers <A HREF="http://dl.soyo.com/soyousa/manuals/quick-sg/k7/qsg_k7vkpe_v11.pdf" target="_new"> (page 15 of this manual) </A>

I am running ddr400 pc3200 ram.

I have changed the jumpers as this is the only way to set cpu frequency (can't do it through bios). Windows doesn't load and it goes into a restart loop every time i move the jumpers off of 100mhz bus.
I have two identical computer setups so this is not an isolated problem in one bad piece of equipment. Still searcihng for a solution...any help would be appreciated.

Last time I saw that problem, it was because the hsf was not on properly. Still enough contact for underclock, but not for full speed.

Still haven't been able to resolve the problem. Have tried different RAM and video cards and no change, so theyre not the problem. I have had a friend check the HSF and they seem to be attached properly. Also I don't think this is the problem, because the computer consistently restarts the second it tries to load windows, the system is not unstable.

Would be eternally grateful for any advice,
Thanks again everyone for your time and consideration!

You may need to make sure that your CPU/PCI divider is set for the 200FSB. If it defaults to 100Mhz and you raise it to 200 it may be rasing the whole system speed(over clock way too high). Your PCI should be ~33.
