I don't consider it normal.. Do U?

I have a system described below. I used a Gigabyte 7zm just fbs overclocked mobo, at 115Mhz, which made my Duron run @ 862. I had 2 video cards those days, a Gef 2 mx,200/200, and an ASUS 6800 DDR Deluxe. (150/340)

Now i've upgraded to an MSI board, and has no problem running on 1ghz (133mhz only boots to windows, but on desktop, immediately freezes, just before the welcoming wav file. Maybe my Sblive holds something? .. i think no, my RAM is 133mhz, but not as good to run on 133mhz methinks. Or maybe the 1.8V processor voltage is too low?)

So my problem is that in 3dmark2k1 I got 2300 points on the Gigabyte system with gef 2 mx, and 2500 with the Asus. After the upgrade, now on 1ghz, I can barely get higher points. Is my Geforce DDR holds off because of low scalability? Or something is wrong...

Now, on 9X111mhz (1000) i've got 2680 points with detonator 12.6 and asus reference too...

What now? (In BIOS, i had to set the mem clk to auto cas and auto mhz to reach 1ghz)

Come on boys... Normal or should I BIOS update for getting better performance? Or is that the maximom of my crap ASUS?

Please!

did you redo windows when you installed the new mobo?
since it doesn't sound like you did i would suggest booting in safe mode and removing anything that looks like it is from the old board from the device manager... also if there are any duplicates remove them both... be ready install them again the next time you boot regularly tho...
just ideas

Hi!

No, I did not, but believe me, that can't be a problem. All of a sudden I encountered much more serious problems, related to the 696B south bridge.

I've gone through all the forum tips, and found that my SBLIVE and any sound card, even the onboard audio hang (system crash after 10-20 minutes) may be solved by turning off sb16 emulation, setting memory hole enabled in bios, and legacy isa interrupt 5 in bios. I even turned off harware accelaration to the SBLIVE!

It's been looping 3dmark2k1 on 1000mhz (133X7.5) with 2 winamps looping the same mp3 for 2 hours. It did not crash yet. What do you think? I realized that I have a 200W PS. I think that's the reason why my boot ups fail sometime, I mean the speaker beeps a lot when I switch the machine on. Then I switch it off, and after 5 secs on again.. And it boots... PS problem? Should I change to 300W? My config is below. It eats more than 200W I think

Please help with suggestions!

i would suggest a new power supply... i won't make an athlon/duron w/o/ at least a 300W AMD approved powersupply...
although i can't say that is your problem it would never hurt...
if you are worried about your sound card... pull it out for a while and just see what happens...
oh yeah and if problems still persists un o/c your cpu and let it sit at it's rating for a while that way you know that it isn't ur cpu...

just a couple of thoughts
good luck

Something to consider as far as your boot failures go. I have an Intel based PC, (700e @933 on an MSI 815ePro) that would continuously beep on occasion at boot up but after turning off and hit hitting the power button a few seconds later it would boot normally. Turned out to be a ram problem. I reseated the ram, (and moved it to different slots) the problem went away along with the occasional lockups, and it?s now one of the most stable PC?s I own.

On a side note a bigger PS wouldn?t hurt either.
