Thunderbird and K7V

Based on the review on Tom's hardware I purchased the thunderbird 700mHz and put it in my asus k7v motherboard. It has one major hitch. It stalls on boot up nearly everytime. When I reset the machine it comes back with the Bios and gives me the error: detected an improper CPU frequency and then when I reset to default it boots up normally. I'm using pc100 memory, and jumperfree default mode. Any quick answers to solving this? Thanks

If your using a SlotA Thunderbird and the Asus K7V your bound to have problems. Only the ASUS K7V-T is recommended for the Thunderbird SlotA CPU, otherwise you have to use the K7V motherboard for the classic Athlon CPU, not the Thunderbird Athlon CPU.

Go to www.bigfootcomputers.com to see their ASUS K7V-T motherboard there. Note, only the -T notation is for the Thunderbird CPU, without it the mobo is only good for the classic Athlon CPU.
