Hey,
I'm hoping you guys could help me These are my computer stats:
350 Watt Powersupply
Asus P3B-F Motherboard
P3 800mhz Processor
3x 256MB PC100 SDRAM
GeForce3 Ti200
Now for the problem.
I'm trying to get BIOS to realise I have the processor and ram...which it is capable of using...I've read other forums/sites that use the same parts as me.
Processor: When I bootup, it says I have a 400mhz ... I go into BIOS, set it from 400mhz to Manual and up the setting below from 1.00 to 1.20 (max)...that'll set the Processor to 720mhz next bootup, but also makes it run at 50 Celsius!! That's 5 degrees above when it downspeeded to 400.
My P4's don't run at 25c! Why should a P3 run double!
How can I make BIOS realise it has an 800mhz Processor?
RAM: On bootup, it says I have 384MB of RAM in there. There's 768MB tho.
I have tried booting with each RAM stick by itself, and it reports 128MB.
I have tried booting with one 128MB stick, and it reports 64MB!
What's going on there??
I'm at a loss myself =/ Is there some trick with JumperSettings or BIOSSettings? Please help! I can overclock P4's & AMD's, but this P3 makes me feel like a caveman, and I'm not O/C'ing it. I feel like an *****.
Thanks in advance!!
Dave
