FSb will not go to 133!

[yankee427]

My FSb is stuck on 100 and will not go to 133. I have an AMD athlon XP 2000+ which should run at 1.67ghz but only runs at 1.2ghz because of the 100 fsb. I have tried to up it many times and each time I try to get it to 133 the computer will not boot and nothing comes up on the monitor. Then I have to reset the CMOS to be able to boot the computer again. It is very annoying. Would this be a problem with my CPU, motherboard, or some other hardware component?

have you checked the motherboard for a jumper that changes the FSB from 100 to 133? I believe some boards still carry that

Yes I have tried in bios and switched the jumper on motherboard, both give me same result as above.

Which mobo and RAM?

I have AMD XP 2000+ with 256MB crucial PC2100 ram and an EPOX 8kha+ mobo

do you have another board on hand to test the chip?

No not really. I kind of do but it would be a pain to do it. Anyone else have any ideas?
