motherboard recognizes cpu as wrong speed

[hoffy628]

Hello
I revently purchased a motherboard and cpu, I installed them in my case and hooked everything up and ran into an issue. the bios sees the cpu as a 1300mhz, it is a amd 3000+, it should be 1800 mhz the way I read into it.
anyway I set the cpu bus freq. jumper on 133/166/200 MHz, and the hit the power and machine starts and runs for 1 to 2 seconds and shuts down. a couple times it did get at far as the post screen and it says amd 3000+ but freezes there.
The system seems to run fine when the jumper is set at the 100mhz cpu bus freq. (1300mhz) but its just not right?
any idea's?
the motherboard is a chaintech ct-7njl6 The cpu is a amd 64 3000+

Thanks for your help

Maybe the motherboard is using an old bios. There is usually an improved bios released that is different to the one that shipped on the board. Check the manufacturer site for any bios updates and update to the newest.

The ram is PC3200 if you need that info, also I just scanned my post, and this is not a athlon 64 3000+ just a athlon 3000+ Sorry, got it mixed up with my other motherboard.

Do you know if your 3000+ is a 166 FSB or a 200 FSB chip ?
