hoffy628 Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 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 Hoffy Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted January 29, 2006 FPCH Admin Posted January 29, 2006 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.

phreakwars Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Do you know if your 3000+ is a 166 FSB or a 200 FSB chip ? . . Quote
