cpu probs

i just set my new comp up with athlon 3200+ barton and it seems to be running at 1100mhz does anyone know how to change this?

comp specs:
athlon 3200+ barton
Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200C2 Pro TwinX
Asus A7N8X Deluxe nForce2
Asus ATI Radeon 9800XT/TVD 256MB

Uhhhhh go into your bios and change the system clock from 100 to 200.

Barton 2500+ @ 2200mhz (10x220 vcore @ 1.8)
Asus A7N8X Dlx 440 FSB
1gb Geil GD pc3500 Dual Channel (2-3-3-6)
Segata 80gb SATA 8.5ms seek
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro(420/720)

Change the CPU External Freq to 200

Barton 2500+ @ 2200mhz (10x220 vcore @ 1.8)
Asus A7N8X Dlx 440 FSB
1gb Geil GD pc3500 Dual Channel (2-3-3-6)
Segata 80gb SATA 8.5ms seek
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro(420/720)

Try to manually put the memory frequency at 200mhz. You should also manually set the timings of your RAM (2-3-3-6 for your Corsair memory if I'm not mistaken).

Good luck!

Right! I forgot about this. If you don't have the 2nd revision of the A7N8X you won't be able to operate at 400mhz, only 333mhz.

ok this is wat i get on startup screen:

Asus A7n8X2.0 Deleuxe ACPI BIOS REV 10006
Amd athlon (tm) XP 1100mhz

these are my advanced chipset settings

CPU FREQ multiple setting = auto
x CPU Freq multiple = 11.0x
System performance = optimal
x CPU Interface = optimal
Memory frequency = auto
Resulting frequency auto
x memory timings optimal
x sdram active precharge delay = 4
x sdram ras to cas delay = 2
x sdram ras precharge delay = 2
x sdram cas latency = 2t
FSb spread spectrum = 0.50%
agp spread spectrum = disabled
CPU Vcore setting = auto
x cpu vcore = 1.650
Graphics aperture size = 64mb
agp freq = auto
system BIOS cacheable = disabled
video RAM cacheable = disabled
ddr reference voltage = 2.6v
agp vddq voltage = 1.5v
agp 8x support = enabled
agp fast write capability = enabled

note when i change memory freq to by SPD my timming change to 2.5t-3-3-8
anyone know what to do im lost

still not working im gonna update the bios

when i load windows in safe mode cpu runs at full speed, but when i load windows normally the computer dies

Changed Adv Chipset Settings:
External CPU freqquency: 200MHz
FSB Spead Spectrum: 1.0%

ok finally figured out the problem. the cpu is overheating when i turn my computer on it shoots to 60 degrees and gradually increases and thats just in the bios and within 5mins its reaching 80 degrees thats 5 degrees of the die temp. Anyone know wats wrong? im using the amd heat sink and fan i got with the processor surely this should be keeping it cooler than that?

That definately not right. Reinstall the HSF and gently wiggle it to see if it moves Make sure the wrapping for the thermal paste has been removed. Also If you are using a Shim, this could very much be the problem. Make sure you have remove any wrappings on the shim or just to hell with it. Make sure your the fan is rotating when on. Let me know what happens.

You must dissable the fsb spread spectrum in bios. Check the faq at asus.
