Sempron 3100 Built and waiting on times

[SNC]

Just finished putting together a Sempron 3100 with a gig of RAM and a SATA RAID 1.
I am going to run it stock for 24 hours and then start cranking it up and see where she fails.

I was installing drivers and SP2 while that WU was being done.
I hope it gets better than that.

socket A or socket 754?

The 3100+ Semprons are Socket 754 only.

Yep

I'm gonna crank it up later and see what shell do.

Well, not so good. Bumped it up 10 ticks booted then locked up. After a reset the file system was gone.
Sort of blwe my mind. Reinstalled XP and bumped it up 5 ticks. Same thing. Running stock now and its going to stay there. I still cant figure out what would cause the FS to go south. I will have to play around one day.

Wow, that's a weird problem... Maybe it's the IDE controller (which might use a PCI bus) which couldn't stand the higher speeds?
When you don't have a PCI lock, if you change the FSB the PCI clock will rise to.. But I've never heard of an IDE controller to freak out😕

Which chipset is it?

I had this problem one time when trying to run a K6-2 333 (66 MHz FSB) at 350 (100 MHz FSB). This CPU constantly crashed my FS when I used a FSB >= 75 MHz no matter what the frequency was. I tried at 300 (3 X 100) and this ba...rd crashed my FS once again...
Good luck with your new toy. 🙂
