Problem.. Need help please.

Hey everyone,

As everyone may or may not know I I just bought a new system.. Parts listed below..

Athlon XP 1600+
MSI K7T266 Pro2 (266a) w/ Enermax 330W PSU
512 megs of Kingston 2100DDR Ram
Asus V8200 64MB GeForce3
Diamond MX300 Sound Card
Intel 10/100 NIC


Here is my problem... When I hooked everything up it booted fine however it booted at 1050 mhz (100 FSB x 10.5 multipler) I loaded WinXP and once completed I went into the BOIS and changed the FSB to 133mhz (133mhz x 10.5 multipler) and when I did I lost video... I reset the CMOS and tried multiple methods with no luck.. the computer will not boot @ 133 FSB..

Need any advice I can get...

Thanks,
Jeff

Try setting the FSB to 100MHZ by a jumper on the mainboard and disable any FSB autodetection feature on the mainboard. If you can get your video working again, power down the system and try setting the FSB to 133MHZ by a jumper on the mainboard.

Also, I don't know if I was clear in the previous post.. the computer works fine at 1050mhz (100mhz x 10.5) just not at 133mhz...

Did, and updated it.

No CAS3 setting in the BOIS... Only 2 and 2.5 also allows me to set to HCSK +33?

Also, just in case you have...do <i>not</i> set your memory to HSCK +33. It shouldn't hurt anything, but I imagine the system will not be stable at all.

38C? That's quite warm. My KT266 runs at 33 at full load, but at 133 FSB...

Check the core voltage. Make sure it's constant at 100 and 133, even while sitting in the bios.

How far does it get when set to 133?

60 FPS, 70 FPS, 80 FPS Crash!
Daylight comes and I have to go to work

If you set HSCK (Host Clock)+33 and FSB at 133MHz, wouldn't the memory run at <b>166MHz</b>? Most memory modules can't run at that speed stably.

I mean for PC-2100.

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by khha4113 on 11/03/01 02:33 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

I just went to the MSI site and found out that multiple people are having the same problem with Athlon XP's check it out and let me know what you think..

Still haven't found anyone who can determine what is wrong... I have called MSI but never get a callback and called AMD which blames the board... Anyone have any ideas?
