Hi all,
I am a beginner in building computer, I have just bought a Athlon 64 3000+ and a Gigabyte motherboard GA-K8NS. I have put everything together and switch on the computer, first thing I noticed is the screen showing CPU clock frequency as 200Mhz and the system cannot load window, keep restarting with the window xp is about to load.
I contacted the mother manufacturer, they adviced me to upgrade my Bios. I have downloaded the latest Bios and when I tried to update in the Bios manual, the floppy drive read the floppy then stopped there and do nothing with the floppy drive light still on. I have no idea what happened, so if any one could give me a hand I would be very much appreciated.
My guess is the motherboard Bios need updating before the CPU being recorgnised, but what can I do if I can't update the Bios...
My computer system is:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Gigabyte motherboard GA_K8NS
1Gb Ram (DDR266 + DDR333)
PNY GeforceFX5200
60Gb IBM hard disk
80Gb Maxtor hard disk
Lite-On 52X CD-R
Lite-On 16X DVD rom
Power supply max 350W
