i'm building a computer for my niece - nothing fancy, but something that will play some games, let her listen to music and watch dvds.
here are the parts i purchased:
abit nf7-s2
amd barton 333fsb 2600+ 1.9ghz
kingston 512mb ddr400 pc3200
enlight 420w psu
using onboard sound
gf fx 5700le 128mb
sony dvd-rom
wd 80gb 8mb cache hdd
thermaltake volcano hsf
the problem i'm having is getting the cpu to run at stock speed (1.9ghz).
i've tried loading optimized defaults (which sets the fsb to 166), but it crashed during post. i've tried changing the timings on the memory to anywhere between 8-3-3-3.0 and 11-4-4-3.0. i've tried upping the core cpu voltage from 1.5v (default) to 1.60v, with the fsb at either 133mhz or 166mhz, and it crashes during post.
anyone had experience with this combo? all i want to do is get the cpu running at stock speed! :cry:
thanks for any help.
