I've got an EPOX 8rd3a board, just got an Athlon 2600+ mobile and 1 GB RAM. I set the timings at 15x133 (as recommended for this chip) and it defaulted back to 6x10mhz. I was able to get 10x133, so I tried another combination at 10x166m, and then 10x200mhz. On this last one, the thing froze when I was going back into BIOS, and I couldn't reboot (it kept checking drive A -- wouldn't display boot info even).
SO I put back old CPU and RAM and tried to start up -- no dice: a couple times gave low pitched sound, now just powers fans for a couple seconds and then shuts off. Any suggestions???
If I fried something, is it most likely the motherboard or CPU or ? Any chance the power supply could have blown?
I don't know where to start..... AAAAGGGHHH!
