Athlon XP system issue

[GN85]

There seems to be a problem with my old Athlon XP system. Windows boots just fine, but the bios always resets the memory frequency to 200MHz instead of 400. When I change it back to 400, hit F10 and Enter, the computer restarts but the the monitor doesn't display anything.

Is this a mobo issue?

...or is it supposed to be at 200MHz and I just forgot?

Your Athlon XP system is probably running DDR400 ram which operates at 200mhz. There is nothing wrong with your system. Set the ram back to 200mhz and you will be good to go.

Ah ok. I coulda swore it used to be at 400. I guess DDR makes it 400 MHz. My bad :/
