Alright, so I'm having a bit of a problem.
My Athlon XP 1600+ SHOULD be running at 1.4 Ghz, correct?
Well, it does. However, if it is running at 1.4 Ghz, DVDs freeze, and games like WarCraft3, NWN, Dungeon Siege, and C&C Renegade freeze. Sometimes stuff in Windows Media Player will freeze as well, but not nearly as often. However, I can only get into about a minute or two of playtime in those games before my system locks up.
Now then, if I go into my BIOS and set my processor down to 1.0Ghz, everything runs fine. No freezes, system up for weeks at a time. I've tested everything, exept for the processor and the motherboard.
I'd like some suggestions. Is the processor bad? Mobo bad? Am I doing something wrong here? I've never overclocked, so the Athlon isn't damaged by that or anything. Please help. Running UT2K3 at 1Ghz kills me.
Thank you, and I will answer any questions you need me to.
