I tried posting this on the general board but im getting no where. I dont know what the problem is and I dont know if its a mobo or processor or whatever the hell it is problem. I just hope someone can help me.
Ok so seeing as no one answered my old post ill try this again.
New computer doesn't seam to be working right, first off when I got it all done and built and then tried to turn it on and what not to install windows, so after turning it on nothing happened. Just a blank screen and the light on the monitor was blinking like the computer was shut off. So anyways I gave up on it for the night and went to bed.
When I woke up this morning I turned it on and it started up, but on the first screen it gave me an error saying "CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded". So I go into the bios and change around some things and get it to start on the installation for windows (xp pro btw). Everything gets done and the I get to the desktop. This is when I noticed that it said it was running like a 2100+, when its suppose to be a 2700+. So I restart and go into the bios to change the frequency, I do that and the save and restart. After I restarted I just got the same thing from last night, a blank screen and the light blinking like the computer was turned off.
So I let it sit for a bit and then turn it back on, I get the same error message "CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded". So I just tell it to continue and start up, it goes and starts up. I check the cpu and it says its a 1500+ (I think) and then in the bios it says its running at 100 mhz.
From what ive tried it seams that whenever I go above 133 it doesn't work anymore. It suppose to be a 2700+, I dont get it. Or is there something else that I need to change in the bios in order for me to up the frequency of the CPU?
I really hope someone can help me, this is really frustrating. I dont know if I should just send it back and use my old computer.
