Before I had a e6320 with GA-965p-DS3 running at 400 FSB. FSB changes worked fine! I even got up to around 430 FSB. However when I got my new e8400 and flashed my bios with the latest bios update, I found tht my system would restart at bios booting when I changed the FSB! Stock for the e8400 is 333x9. I can't change the FSB to over 333, under 333 or EVEN MANUALLY SET THE FSB TO 333! I have to leave the FSB on the "default" setting (which is 333). The system would boot and during bios posting the system would reset and go back to default settings at the memory check/posting. I am 100% sure my memmory (crucial ballstix ddr2 800) can do at least 1000 and I am running it significantly lower than that. I seem to be able to underclock the CPU by changing the multiplier fine. The CPU runs 100% stable at stock 3ghz (333x9) though.
Anybody ever run into this problem?
System specs:
Intel e8400
GA-965P-DS3 Rev 3.3
Crucial Ballstix 2g DDR2 800
Windows XP
PNY 8800GT 512
This I have tried:
1. reset CMOS
2. update to newest bios.
