Ok this is a new one for me:
When my computer tries to load windows it just resets. never loads windows just repeats post and then tries to load windows, rinse repeate.
system:
EPoX 8RDAPRO, 1gig of PC2700 RAM Athlon XP2600.
bad signs: the ram clocks in at a 400FSB at 166MHz. it should load at 333 as it's PC2700 right?
two questions,
1) I havn't messed up my processor have i? i did just switch it from my old mobo and added a new heat sink but it seems to do alright with proccessor but the RAM seems to not register right(I'm paranoid alright)
2) how do i forcefully tell a mobo that it's detecting the RAM wrong? I looked at the BIOS but got nothing.
Help appreciated s always
