Trying to get the board to work again. I made a change in the bios to the fsb from 100/100 to 133/133. I'm using a duron 650 and I see it has been unlocked with the pencil routine. The first time I booted up this new mobo the cpu registered as a durn 700. Then I made the change in the bios to 133/133. I havn't been able to get this board to boot up since. I leaned the board out and I know all the parts are working. However, I don't have another cpu to try. If I had dip switches I could change the setting back to 100/100. However, this is my first exposure to cpu fsb control in bios and how do I change back to 100/100? Could I have damaged something making this adjustment? I regret this! Any assistance appreciated
Thanks:)

you can try to clear the cmos using the jumper. that should reset all settings to default.
Second, the L1 bridges will have no effect on this mobo as it does not allow multiplier change. You can try to undo the unlocking (erase the pencil traces) and hope that your cpu can do 6.5*133

Yeah, if the CPU isn't fried then pencil in the L7 bridges that are open to make it 1.85v default and it'll almost certainly do 133x6.5 so long as your cooling and PSU can handle it oh, and I'm also assuming that your using PC133 or 2100DDR.
