help, i can't raise my fsb....

[unknown8585]

right now, i have my 1gig duron running at 1150. right now my multiplier is at 11.5 and my fsb is at 100. i do not know why, but i cannot oc by changing the fsb. for example, i lowered my multiplier to 6 and raised my fsb to 133. my computer won't even start. by the way, i have a soyo dragon+ with nothing in my pci slots except for my ultra geforce2 video card.

you might also want to raise the voltage for your cpu and perhaps your memory. the video card should be able to handle it, as i have a geforce2 pro and it runs fine off of my 150 fsb.

how do i do that?

Go to Soyo homepage and get the new bios.I had the same problem with xp1800.The new bios fixed it. alc

hey alc

which bios do you have now???? i i have the 2ba1 currently flashed. i know that a new one came out, but i heard that it slows down your computer. thanks by the way

I'm running 2ba1 also.My board came with an earlier bios than that and didn't work with the xp1800.I know that they have a new bios out to be compatible with the xp2000 but thats all I know about it.You might want to check out amdmb.com If you go to communities/motherboards you find a section just for soyo boards

What FSB do the Duron 1GHz procs run at by default? If it is the 200FSB, then here's your problem:
When you turn the computer on, it looks to the processor first for the multiplier, then the BIOS. So if the default multiplier of the Duron is 10, then when you turn the computer on at a 133MHz bus, it tries to boot initially at 1.3GHz until it is able to access the BIOS for the lower multiplier; if the CPU can't initialize at this speed, the system stops.
If that is the case, the only way I've found to run a stubborn 200FSB processor at 266FSB is to actually cut and connect several of the bridges on the top of the chip to make a different hardwired multiplier. I did that to my T-bird 900 to get it to do 933 on a 133MHz bus.
