KX7-33 BIOS Problems

I am trying to put together a PC my brother got in component form for Xmas.

It's based on an Abit KX7-333 with an Athlon XP 2000+, but the first time I booted the POST stated the speed as 1250 MHz. When I check the BIOS it has the CPU at 1500+, I'm assuming this means it is running it as an Athlon XP 1500 (i.e. 1.25 GHz). Not a problem as such, so I changed the setting to 2000+ and also set the first boot device to CDROM for installation of Windows XP.

This is where the real problem occurs - when I save the settings and exit the BIOS, it reboots but then fails to POST and the monitor goes into standby, as I guess it has not signal. I have to remove power and leave it for a while before it'll boot OK, but then the BIOS settings I made have nt been applied.

Does anyone know how to get ast this problem?

Thanks
 
the xp 2000+ might bee a .13 micron processor, so you might want to do a bios update. and what kind of memory are you using?

your board is having a problem running at a frontside bus (fsb) of 133mhz. something is holding it back, like the memory or your cpu settings. try manually changing your cu settings to 133mhz and a multiplier of 12.5. 12.5x133=1.67ghz=2000+.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
