my new Asus A7V880 not reconizing my 2600 (fsb133) correctly.
Last night i put together my 2600+XP system using the asus a7v880 mobo. did a fresh install of windows XP. Everything when smooth as planned. until i notice that my 2600+ (2.128mhz) was only running at 1600mhz!
I was thinking that is should be no big deal.
I know that the mulipilier on the CPU is x16. So the FSB must have defaulted to 100mhz.
So i go in to the BIOS and change the FSB to 133mhz, then while still in the bios i check under System Information, it now reads my CPU correctly as a 2600+ (2.128mhz)
Now here is the problem. The PC WILL NOT boot with the FSB set to 133. During POST i receive the error msg the BIOS is curupted and needs to be recovered. Sometimes it will get past the error msg and it starts to load windowsXP, but about 5 seconds into loading winXP the machine just Reboots! Then the cycle continues........
I dont know what to do. I have tried taking out all but 1 stick of ram. Flashing to the newest bios. Same results.
Im not sure if this board is DOA, or im missing something stupid.?/
