First off hello, & hope i can get helpful information to my problem as i have exhuasted all of my resources.
I have a Biostar M7NCD mobo which is able to support up to 400mhz fsb. I just bought a AMD XP2600 barton core 333mhz chip. Im running 256mb (for now) of DDR333 pc2700.
My problem is, when i set the fsb to 166 in my bios, as soon as i load windows and im at my desktop, any application i run, the computer automatically shutsdown and reboots. This continues to happen. I am able to set it to 133 in the bios, but then instead of the 1.9ghz clockspeed i should have... im stuck with 1.5ghz. This is really distrubing since i paid to have more not less.
If anyone can shed some light on this mess please help. Im down to either replacing the mother board, or buying new sticks of ram, as those are the only two things i can see as the problem.
any other system specs needed feel free to ask.
thanks in advance
