ECS P4VXASD2+ 533FSB problems: HELP PLEASE

[mzulawsk]

My System:
ECS P4VXASD2 + mobo (http://www.ecsusa.com/products/p4vxasd2_v5_plus.html)
Pentium 4 2.4B using retail Intel box fan + heatsink
256 megs DDR2700
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (Built by ATI, plugged into PSU)
400W Coolmax PSU
USB 2.0 Card
LG 40x CD Writer
Pioneer DVD (currently unplugged)
30 gig 7200rpm Maxtor HD
10 gig 7200rpm Quantum HD

Problem:
Upgraded from a 1.7ghz Celeron to a 2.4B P4. I can't seem to get the CPU 133 frequency working. While at 100, the new chip runs stable at 1.8ghz, but when I enable the 133 frequency by moving the jumpers, the system goes screwy. All of a sudden my hard drive becomes unreadable, CDROM has problems reading disks, and if I can get into Windows, every application crashes within seconds.

I thought at first it was a PSU problem, so I upgraded to a 400W PSU, which should be more than sufficiant. No dice. I have a feeling it has something to do with the mobo or still something with the PSU. I'm waiting for tech support to get back to me, but I'm not crossing my fingers.

Can anyone help? This is DRIVING ME UP THE WALL

You got it to run with a Celeron 1.7....before?

Yup, the Celeron worked previously, and the P4 works at 1.8, but when I enable the 133 CPU freq, the system doesn't start up whatsoever.

Also, I've noticed that there isn't the additional four-pin power connector on the mobo that you typically find on a P4 mobo. Odd.

I attempted to use an Asus mobo instead, most of the same problems were encountered. Actually, I can't get the computer to startup properly at all with the Asus board (P4S8X).

I will never buy a P4 system again. What a load of garbage. I have to RMA the chip AND the mobo now. Still playing to see if I can get things working, but not crossing my fingers.
