1ghz athlon only running at 750mhz? (not a FSB or multiplyer prob)

How big a mess did you make with that asII. I know that they say it is not conductive and is only capacitive under compression but I would consider that maybe it is causing a problem with the bridges. there are several groups of golden bridges that control things like voltage and multipliers and if the asII is creating a connection where there shouldn't be one maybe you should give it a good scrubbing and try it again. I made a bit of a mess on mine. To clean it up well i scrubbed it with warm water and liquid dish soap using a tooth brush. That removed nearly all visual traces of the ASII. I then dried it with a blow dryer. Another thing to check is that it is running the correct cpu voltage. Some of those bridges on the chip are to identify the correct default voltage to the motherboard if some of them are getting a connection that they shouldn't that could screw up the voltage autodetection. Good luck and let us know what it was when you figure it out.
 
Clean your CPU off w/ dish soap and then apply a thin layer of ASII. Reattach the heatsink and set your bios to run 7.5 x 133 w/ a 1.8 or 1.85 core voltage setting.
 
hey thanx ill try that right now... i did make a mess with it... i thought i got most of it off but i didnt think it was conductive so i didnt think it maddered LOL ill keep you updated... brb as i dissassemble this puter to get mine running LOL
 
:-( it didnt work... it seemd to at first but tehn it froze as it was alsmot done at the windows XP loading screen... i checked the Bios for Voltages and stuff and here is what i got...

Vcore- 1.760v
Vcc2.5v- 2.480v
Vcc3.3v- 3.296v
Vcc5v- 4.892v
+12v- 12.096v
SB3v- 3.472v
-12v- -12.131v
SB5v- 5.080v
VBAT 3.472v
systemp 72 degrees F
core temp 102 degrees F

I have no idea what the Voltages mean but they seem normal to me... hope this helps you help me... :-/
 
try increasing the core voltage to 1.8 or 1.85 and maybe bump the 3.3 volt line to 3.4. what board are you using anyway?
 
have you tried pulling all the cards except the vid card and seeing if it would load windows then?
 
:-/ askjn;sajbgsdkhsldjhfvlasjdvfkasjdvglashf lol... stupid thing... i wana know wtf messed it up... maybe i should try to reinstall my bios... id onno... that probly wouldnt do anyhting... but i dont know if its the Mobo or the CPU that is messed... or if the warrenty is still good... grrrr
 
hmmm no i havnt tryed that... i could put in my old voodoo... and see if it works... maybe ill do that in a bit...
 
oh oops i miss read your ? i thought u meant take out the vid card and leave the rest in lol... i will try that too allong with what you said... thanx!
 
Does your BIOS have a +33Mhz setting for the RAM or does it just set the RAM clock to the FSB? If it is set at +33MHz then when you set the FSB to 133 the RAM might be going at 166MHz, which would cause a problem.
 
ummm im not shure... it is 133mhz and it ran fine before... this just started happening... i think its Kingston... not for shure tho
 
Did you ever try nocash's idea of changing the CAS of the RAM?

Also, do you have 2 DIMMs? or some other PC133 RAM anywhere?

You should try to test if its the RAM, it could have gone bad (even though it is unlikely).
 
OK ill try his idea later... i have 4 dimms 2 sdram 2 ddr... i only have Sdram in (2 128mb sticks) i didnt think the computer would POST at all if the ram was bad though... hmmm thanx 🙂
