I can't for the life of me get this thing to run at 133mhz.

I had this old mobo sitting around and decided to use it for an upgrade for my SIL. I got an Athlon XP 1800+ and all I can get it to do is 1150mhz (100mhz x 11.5).

It supposedly has auto-detect on the CPU, but either it's not working or there's some setting in the BIOS that I'm missing. When I manually jumper it to run at 133mhz, it won't even boot. Everything spins up, but I get no video, no post, and no beep.

Anyone have any ideas??

I did install the latest bios as well.

Did you change both jumpers?

There's a bank of 4 jumpers and a single jumper.

I tried just the single jumper with bank of jumpers all OFF = no post
I tried the bank of jumpers with single jumper ON= no post
I tried the bank of jumpers with single jumper OFF = no post

The only way it would post is the bank of jumpers all OFF and the single jumper ON.

Yeah, I downloaded the manual from Biostar and tried exactly what you've shown. Everything would powerup, but I didn't get any video or post...
