Hello there
I cannot run my system at 133fsb
I would do a checkdisk and it will give me bad clusters or the system will crash
I would like to know if anyonne experience this abd what to do
I tried everything (different bios settings)
the system will run at 100fsb

deeablos, if you're getting bad clusters reported you need to get your hard drive's diagnostic utility and give that drive a check up. Whatever brand drive you have the manufacturer has a diagnostic utility that should help either pin the blame on the drive or eliminate it as the culprit. If the drive checks out OK physically then you may have a bad OS install.

FWIW what drive do you have, and what OS? If I remember correctly there are some issues w/ the SS51G at 133MHz. The issues center around having to manually set the memory timings when you attempt 133 MHz FSB. I did a check on Google Groups on SS51G memory timings and a number of users are having memory issues, esp. w/ Crucial memory. Have you done the normal things: clear CMOS, set memory timings on safe settings, reseat both memory and cpu.

I read in a Shuttle newsgroup posting to make sure the IDE cable isn't cut where it's held in place by the case mountings. Lastly, your Crucial memory isn't ECC, is it? That seems to be another issue w/ the SS51G.
