I HAVE BOUGHT A K7 ATHOLON 3000+ FSB 333 CPU UNBOXED ALSO 2 X PC2700 -512MB 333MHZ RAM,STICKS,(ALSO ONE ALREADY IN BUT DIFFRENT MANUFACTURER I THINK THEY ARE, DIFFRENT PHYSICAL SIZES TOTAL 1.50GBRAM)
MY MOBO IS A MSI KT4V MS-6712 V1.X ATX.
GRAPHICS CARD CHAINTECH 64/128MB 4X G-FORCE MX 400

WHEN I FITTED THE CPU AND MEMORY, PROBLEMS
MY MOTHER BOARD SEES MY CHIP AS A 2800+ EVEN AFTER FLASHING BIOS TO THE NEW 1C VERSION(MEGATRENDS ,MSI) AND RUNS AT 2.088MHZ .IF I STEP UP THE FSB IT BOOTS BUT KEEPS FREEZING WHEN I LEAVE THE PC AT NIGHT WHEN USING IT SEEMS TO BE ALRIGHT.
I HAVE USED FUZZYLOGIC4 AND BIOS TO TRY AND MAKE IT RUN AT ITS DEFAULT, I HAVE HAD IT RUNNING UNSTABLE AT 2,22 GHZ O/CLOCKED

BUT DID SOME MAD STUFF THATS ANOTHER STORY.I JOINED THIS FORUM FOR HELP PLEASE SOME ONE, DONT WANT TO SET CMOS AGAIN ARGHHHHH. PS BIG HELLO EVERYONE....

 

[Plague]

what temps were are you getting, what multi was your cpu running at?

 

[HotDog]

more info need.. compleate system specs...

but without knowing anything else I would say pull the ram that you had in your board to begin with and just use the 2 sticks of 512 and what type of power supply are you using? Maybe a power supply issue

 

[MIKEYPTHEKING]

"Plague what temps were are you getting, what multi was your cpu running at?"

are your temps high?

should be able to check your temps in bios.

also check out your voltages in bios from the powersupply

+12 , +3.3 , +5

write them down and let us know..

 

[MIKEYPTHEKING]

Temp Was At Around 52/53c I Expect When Occured I Am Gonna Check Serial On The Cpu Tp Make Sure It Is What They Say It Is Only Problem Is If Its Not I Bought This In December And Have Had "$£%" Ever Since
By The Way Thanks For The Response Im Quite New To Overclocking But Whant To Learn Thanks Hotdog + Plague For Responding So Fast

Welcome to the forums Mikey!

Whats the bios revision you flashed to?

Ver 1.8 is the older bios that was written to allow the 3000, and the 1.C (the latest revision) should cover both the 3000 and 3200 recognition issues.

Version 1.8

Version 1.C

BTW, Plague is "the man" when it comes to Athlon XP troubleshooting.

 

[MIKEYPTHEKING]

12.5/13.5 Multi Fsb 172 Last Night This Problem Varies

 

[MIKEYPTHEKING]

Version 1c It Has Been Done Ok Too It Shows Up In Bios

 

[Xavier1421]

well, you're multi should be 13 for a barton 333 3000+...so where the 12.5 and 13.5 is coming from doesnt make sense...

 

[MIKEYPTHEKING]

I Think Its Ok Said Succesfull And Still Boots

 

[Xavier1421]

What happens when you run FSB 166 and multi of 13? With everything else set to auto in bios?

 

[MIKEYPTHEKING]

My Bios Settings Dont Have 12 And 12.5 By Them Selves Yes They Do Have 11 12 Single Settings But The Next Step For Me After 12 Is 12.5/13.5

 

[MIKEYPTHEKING]

I Get A Clock Speed Of 2.08 And It Seems To Be Ok And Stable Is 2.08 The Max Setting For This Chip With This Board Do Ya Think Using 166x12.5/13.5

 

[HotDog]

if you set everything to auto what multi is your bios telling you that you have?

 

[MIKEYPTHEKING]

Boot Up Info Screen Too Fast To See That Hotdog How Can I Check This Out
If Se To Auto In Bios Cant See It Any Where

CHEERS FOR THEM BIOS VERSIONS DO YA THINK I SHOULD FLASH AGAIN ,DO I NEED ALL THE BIOS ,OR JUST THE NEWEST CHEERS FOR YA HELP AND NICE TO MEET YA MATE

 

[Xavier1421]

No, unfortunately, it doesnt help

When you push the power button, continuously press the delete key, this should get you right into bios.

Once in bios, go to the menu where you had previously changed the CPU Ratio to 12.5....once at that menu, change the "12.5" to AUTO.

If you're running 1.C like you said, there's no need to reflash.

 

[MrSmiley]

doesn't it erk anyone that the Athlon 3000+ as a base FSB of 400mhz not 333mhz. the athlon2500+ - athlon 2800+ were all 333FSB...
