CAN'T GET MY NEW 2100XP 266BUS TO WORK WITH GIGABYTE 7VAXP

[mmx]

With my 1600xp it worked great, but the 2100 just won't boot at 133mhz bus, at 100mhz it boot.

i have the latest bios and etc....

DO ANYONE HAVE THIS PROBLEM TOO?

try clearing the CMOS first. Then try the new cpu.

I did. I finally got it to work, but really unstable. Sometimes won't boot. I know its not power since i got a new 500watt p/s. MEM i have is 2 sticks of GEIL 256mb 433mhz DDR pc3500, which worked great. I'm using F5 now, and that seem to boot up easier. I had the F7 before and no go.

I just got this board and have been having problems. My 2200 boots up fine at 133FSB, but only if my Corsair RAM is at CAS2.5, which is disappointing. Other problems with the board:

--Firewire ports don't work. Nothing. Nada. I know something is going on, because my computer occasionally freezes if I plug something in to them
--Computer locks up when you use the Firewire ports or the optical out. Completely random. I bet the USB ports will do the same thing if I tried them enough.

Aside from that, the board seems really stable. I can run Prime or Sandra for 24+ hours with no problems. I think I'm going to send it back though and get an Asus.

What's the combined 3.3V + 5V output on the 500W PSU? Is it a good brand?

its a raidmax. I'M RMA the board to NEWEGG, and getting a abit max 2(whatever the name is) kt400 board instead.

Hopefully this board will be excellent
