Geez. Things used to be pretty simple.

I've got a 2800 Barton 333 on a Shuttle AN35N Mobo. With a single
stick of Kingston PC3200 CL3 RAM.

To say the least, I'm a bit confused about the BIOS setup.

I seem to get lots of red lights on the MOBO indicating a processor
overheat! With settings that don't seem out of line. There's an
adequate sink and fan installed. The "overheat" light comes on in an
instant before the BIOS has a chance to post to the monitor.

My goal is optimal, normal setup for a kid that is going to be a long
way away with the computer. I want it to run to normal specs... not
over or under clocked.

Should the FSB be 166 or 333?

How do I setup the memory?

What the what?

I'd appreciate y'alls inputs.

tanks.

the FSB should be 166
the AXP will double that and use 333..

Interesting. They must have recently added the overheat lamp to the
board, because I have built several unit using that board and have no
red lights. Also, I wonder what good a lamp is on the board? Once the
case is together you can't see it anyway. Glad you got it worked out.

LOL! It's green until there's a problem. All AN35N Ultras have them up
top over the first and second memory slots. It's good for trouble
shooting a new build. After you've got everthing set-up you set the
overheat protection in the bios. I love the board! I've built three,
stable as a rock!

I accidently put my heatsink on backwards when I built mine, so I
know what he's talking about. lol
