Ok here's the deal.
I have an abit KG7 Raid MOBO. it has 4 memory slots. i only use 2, i tried to use the 3rd one and my pc wasn't booting up. i heard that some mobo's have trouble running 3 ram sticks even if they claim to support 4. is there a driver i can download or somethin to solve this problem?
also....i recently tried installing a new processor, i had the amd athlon t-bird 1.4 ghz, i tried installing a athlon xp 1700+ .... but couldn't get the thing to run at its full speed, only could get it to 1 ghz..... i tried fulling around with bios settings to get it just right..but never could.. so i ended up taking the new cpu out and putting my t-bird back in.....but when i did, i couldn't get that to run at its right speed either....its suppose to be 1.4ghz but i couldn't get it to run more then 1ghz....and thats what im using now.. if i go higher in bios my system won't boot up. so now.... my comp is running at 1ghz ... and everytime i boot up i get a VIA MASTER BUS DRIVER error. it automatically searches for the driver, and then tells me some hardware might not be working properly due to this error.
I am completely lost and would be more then pleased with some kinda assistance.
my system:
amd athlon t-bird
abit kg7 raid
