sigh... fry's....
Guys I'm helping my friend make a py00ter and we picked a Shuttle AK12A & 1.2 GHZ T-bird from Fry's for $179 (I think). Well, I hooked everything up, checked the FSB jumper setting (yep, it was 133). I'm sure the CPU is 1200/266. I turned it on the first time, it did the video bios thing, clocked the CPU correctly, checked the ram, then in bold, white letters it said something about: warning- CPU FSB speed has been changed please check the settings. I thought this was odd that it popped up the first time I turned it on. Nothing was installed yet, so I was just whatever. Click--reset. Memory is counting..... FREEEEEZE! uh oh guys. Should've listened to the guy at Fry's who told us that ALL the Shuttle motherboards they had left were returns. We asked a different salesperson why that was and he said it's just the people's fault who tried to set up the computer, using outdated power supplies. So, we thought it would be ok to get it. We were on a time restraint and that was their best deal today so we decided to just take it.
, what do you guys think I need to do? Flash the bios or get a different power supply. I can't see why power supply would really be a problem it's an InWin case with a 300W (AMD approved?) power supply.
