I have just recently finished building a new comp with my dad.
Specs as follows:
Antec Sonota case
430 truepower
A7n8x deluxe
+2500 athlon barton core
radeon 9800 pro
160 GB WD 8 mb cache
So.. heres the problem. Computer boots up fine, we have installed windows already. I go to BIOS, look at the FSB, its at 100 mhz (well below what it should be for an +2500). I try to turn it up and it only goes to 200 mhz. Okay i thought, 166 mhz did made the +2500 go to 1.5 GHZ, the 200 mhz should at least get it going at 2.1 GHZ (stock speed). I turn the FSB to 200 mhz, and the comp just auto restarts itself on bootup to windows with a HIGH FREQ warning. My dad takes out his huge book on computing and the +2500 stock frequencies are 5.5+, mine were at 11.0+. I try to tone them down to 5.5, no avail, mine can only go to 6.5+!
What the hell is wrong with my PC!? If anyone here can solve my PC problems, i will give you infinity gratitude.
PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
