    Newbie Q: Does DDR frequency have to match CPU's FSB?

    I didn't hear anything, though one shot beep is expected. CPU fan is running. But how could hard drives spin up before POST (power on self-test) is finished? Ram is in DIMM 1, which is required. :confused:

    Newbie Q: Does DDR frequency have to match CPU's FSB?

    Volcano 7 on Athlon T-Bird 900 MHz (A7V motherboard)

    << Do you have any temps? Do you know if it's overheating? Could it be something else? >> What temps? Temperature sensor? THere is built-in temp sensor. Beeping means that the cpu is overheating. That's what the BIOS set. I don't know if it's really overheating.
