New Mobo, Cpu, Ramsticks ---> PC Hangs up. VOLTAGE?!?! HELP!
Well ive been posting in a Thread on the OS Windows area for a while now without any succes. I had, like many others, the problems of not being able to run almost any 3d Game/Apllication.
It seemed so pointless that i bought myself a Gigabyte GA7N400SL Motherboard (Dual Channel) With 2x 512MB of Apacer PC3200 Ram and ordered an AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Tray CPU.
Yesterday when i got home from work it was finally here. my beloved rescue in form of a 0.13 micron processor.
Well i had to wait for one of my stupid stoner "friends" to get me some cooling paste. At least he really found the paste so i could start off installing the new ware pretty late at night though.
ive installed the new mobo, cpu, ramsticks, my geforce 6600 GT passive cooled graphicscard.
and well now i have several questions to pose:
1. in my bios setup it says that i have a 1500+ cpu installed (1100mhz) ?! .. ive read a bit through the amd identification thread but im still confused. can this be correct? the bios setting is set to "normal" and not to "overclocked".. it seems rather underclocked to me; does the board essentially need a flash or driver update to recognize my cpu properly? :hump:
(the number there is set to 133, and i cant change any multiplier at all.)
2. after the bios screen my system hangs up and cannot boot into windows not even in safe-mode. ive seen the other thread concerning this and i will try to repair my windows xp installation, as i assume its due to drivers installed for the old mobo etc. will have to check out this evening.
3. My cpu temperature seems to be around 60-66 degrees celsius. is this too much for pre-windows usage? what would you say? i mean at least i have one of those stupid p00py spire copper cpu coolers.
i wonder if this crap is like in audio-industry with gold plated cables and all that useless ****. too much moneymaking -.-
