New to this forum and flashing - hoping you can shed some light here as I'm trying to learn.
System running W2k-pro with no problems, but I can only clock cpu at 1250Mhz (normal would be 1666 but system wont boot at that speed) - bios only allows for 1250 & 1666 auto select.
Figured it was bios limitation so trying to prepare for upgrade cpu I tried to flash from 1004b to 1011. flash went fine, correct revison showed in boot and was able to boot into windows but when running SOME internet programs (GR, kazzaa, roger wilco for examples) system would lock and had to be rebooted. Mozilla w/downloads work fine, as do trillian and ping. I was able to run GR local (didnt try RW)
Flashed back to 1004b and all works fine (just like original anyway. ) I have never overclocked on this board.
Anyone have any ideas? Am I correct in assuming the bios has to be rated for the cpu? ie. the 1004b bios is rated to 1.4Ghz so it wont allow full potiential of XP2000+.
Thanks for any help
