I can't seem to get my new AMD XP1800 to work with my Soyo Dragon mobo (regular Dragon, not the +). I am upgrading from a Tbird 850 which I had no problems with. I installed the 1800 and powered up, it came as an 1150 so I changed the fsb in the bios from 100 to 133, saved and rebooted. Now it was recognized as XP 1800. I see the Win98 logo then I get the DOS Regscan screen and it freezes. I try again and get some error that says there's something wrong with Command.com. It alternates, more or less, between the Regscan screen and Command.com error. I can't get it to boot completely into the OS. If I set the FSB back to 100, it comes up as 1150 and seems to work fine. The processor is defintely an 1800, I've tried everything I know. Here's my system specs:
Soyo Dragon Mobo (bios KVXA_2BA1)
AMD XP 1800
512MB DDR PC2100
Radeon 8500
SB Live
Onboard sound and LAN are disabled.
I saw on the Soyo site that the previous Bios K7VX_2AA3 adds support for AMD XP, I don't know if it's a good idea to install that one again then the newer one. Thanks in advance.
