ok, i just got all new stuff for a computer that i just put together. the processor is an athlon xp 2500+ barton, soltek SL-75FRN2-RL mobo, and 2x512MB geil pc3200 are the main of it. i put it all together and it boots up showing 1100mhz. i let it go and install xp and what not. when i restart and put it up to the 1.833 mhz it supposed to be at (166x11), it then posts as a 2500+ but it will either restart as soon as it gets to windows or it'll let me get in but restart once any strain is put on the pc, such as installing software or opening programs. any explanation as to what is causing this? this is my first time changing fsb and multipliers so i don't know if there's some sort of ratio to keep it near when setting it. i would think that it would at least run at stock speed, lol. thanks for any help.
