I'm having many problems getting my new system to work. Here are my base specs:
ECS K7VTA3 ver2
AMD Athalon XP 1700+ (retail hsf included)
Mushkin 256 MB DDRam pc-2100
Visiontek geforce 3 ti200
Antec 300w ps
The first problem thats come up is that my system won't post when I have the fsb set at 133 (jumper 3). It will at least post if I set the fsb to 100, but my processor is only running at 1.1 ghz.
The other problem I'm having is that in order to restart my system, I have to clear my cmos (jumper 7) every time. When I do this, and the system does post, I get the regular info and the line "CMOS checksum error-defaults loaded". When I restart and don't clear the cmos, the motherboard starts beeping every 5 seconds and the screen stays black.
I've tried reseating the video card and ram about 4 times, with the same results. I'm no computer wiz, so I'm gonna need some hand-holding in order to get this thing to work. Thanks in advance.
