100mhz to 133mhz

[supagu]

i just installed a seconds hand motherboard and athlon xp 1800 cpu into my computer, the mother board is a k7t turbo 2, i installed my video card and ram, and it works fine with the mobo running at 100mhz, but displayes the wrong speed for the cpu (it shows 1100hz or somehting close), but as soon as i remove the jumper to make it go 133mhz, it gets to the displaying the cpu speed and amount of ram, now at the proper speed (1800hz), but it freezes there, if i try to get into the BIOS by pressing delete, the screen goes black/blank, with the cursor flashing in the top left and thats all it does, does any one have any idea on how to fix it? (also i just bought a 350w power supply, as when using my old 250w power supply, it wouldnt even display anything when my mobo was set to 133mhz),
any ideas are appreciated

There are some possible explanations for this:
1. Your CPU is getting to hot (but it sounds very unlikely that it gets to hot at boot-up unless the heatsink is very bad).
2. The memory can't handle the 133Mhz bus speed... you memory should be atleast 133 (266 in DDR) MHz also called PC2100.
3. The PCI divider is set wrongly meaning that your PCI and AGP bus are way to high. For 133 MHz FSB the PCI divider should be set to 1/4 and the AGP divider to 1/2.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on

TO add to the list...

There also could be a, or several, seeting(s) in the BIOS that might need to be changed before you change the jumper.

Have you consulted your manual?

If you don't have one download it off the net.

If you need help finding it I look for you.

1. Your CPU is getting to hot - i dont think so, heat sink seems cool enough
2. The memory can't handle the 133Mhz bus speed...my RAM says 133mhz on them, plus it has worked at 133mhz before
3. The PCI divider is set wrongly meaning that your PCI and AGP bus are way to high. For 133 MHz FSB the PCI divider should be set to 1/4 and the AGP divider to 1/2.
- i guess this is a bios setting, where is the divider info :?

Uhm... I worked with a similair motherboard and it was in the frequency setting or something... the same where you set the CPU speed and FSB speed. But also check if there are not more jumpers that have to be set... like a jumper to support Athlon XP CPU.

May still be the PSU. Is it generic or a name brand?

An Athlon XP is designed to run at 1.53GHz, not 1.8GHz (1800MHz.) It is a stupid shyster (sp?) that AMD runs to get you to buy a slower chip. The 1800+ only performs equal to a P4 1.8GHz, it doesn't run at that speed.

If you haven't got it already... hit the manufacturer's site and get the manual for your board. It is likely there is more than one setting involved in switching it from 100 to 133...

Xp 1800 == 1533mhz @ 133mhz FSB.
