I just bought an Athlon XP 3200+ for my Shuttle AN35N Ultra MB. It is an upgrade from current CPU: XP 2700+.
I have 1GB of Corsair Value RAM PC3200. I also have a new 450W Cooler Master PSU that is very stable.
I installed the new CPU w/ the Thermalright SLK800U HS (w/ Arctic Silver) & Panaflow fan.
I set the BIOS to 200Mhz FSB & everything else to "optimal"
When booting I get an error screen Machine_Check_Exception, STOP 0x0000009C just before the desktop appears.
I can't get any further. I get better luck when I set the FSB to 190 or 192. If I try 199 or 200 the BSOD comes back.
I looked up this error & this is what the MS support site says:
his behavior occurs because your computer processor detected and reported an unrecoverable hardware error to Windows XP. To do this, the processor used the Machine Check Exception (MCE) feature of Pentium processors or the Machine Check Architecture (MCA) feature of some Pentium Pro processors. The following factors may cause this error message:
? System bus errors
? Memory errors that may include parity or Error Correction Code (ECC) problems
? Cache errors in the processor or hardware
? Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLB) errors in the processor
? Other CPU-vendor specific detected hardware problems
? Vendor-specific detected hardware problems
MORE INFORMATION
A machine check exception occurs when Windows XP and your hardware platform cannot recover from a hardware error so that the system can continue to run successfully and reliably. More specific diagnosis of machine check exceptions is difficult, and there is no general solution. Contact your hardware manufacturer or a computer hardware technician for help with troubleshooting this issue.
Machine check exceptions are frequently caused by one of the following conditions:
? You are running the processor or mainboard beyond its specifications. For example, you are overclocking the processor or bus. We recommend that you run your hardware at the manufacturer-rated speeds.
? Noisy power, overstressed power strips, outmatched power supplies and failing power supplies can destabilize your computer. Make sure that you have a stable, reliable power supply to your computer.
? Extreme thermal conditions caused by the failure of cooling devices such as fans may damage your computer. Make sure that your cooling devices are all working.
? You have damaged memory or memory that is not the correct type for your computer. If you recently changed the memory configuration, revert to the previous configuration to determine what is wrong. Make sure that you are using the correct memory for your computer.
-----------------------------
I put the XP 2700+ back in & it works fine!
Perhaps it's a BIOS setting problem, or I need to update the BIOS. I am using BIOS from 12-2003.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
