Please skim through this thread http://www.overclock.net/amd-cpus/51...u-upgrade.html
That was a rough upgrade!
After putting in the cpu the computer booted, went to the bios to check it out (detection things) and then it froze
Next it wouldn't even go to the BIOS, ok so I thought I’d reset (should have done first) and then went down to one RAM chip.
Yay it booted, saying settings had been defaulted, then I open the bios, don't change a thing, but save on exit and it fails to boot, then same story, if you save anything or nothing in the BIOS it will not post at ALL, then I fiddle and play with taking EVERYthing out.......still no luck, change ram around, no luck, use all four of the ram sticks by changing around (still clearing cmos each time) still nothing, the reseat everything, even mod power supply and still no luck, then I start going back on the bios (2207/2205/2201) and found the 2201 to work.... sort of, I had to drop my ram and cpu right down (ram to 400Mhz and cpu to 1.6GHz) â€" didn’t try to under clock with other BIOS, will but don’t have the time.
YAY….. Right?
No - Computer was EXTREMELY unstable, i.e. posting fine then freeze on raid detect, or windows boot, or while in windows all with in 15min of being in windows...
Ok so I was in CPU-z and saw the NB link was at 1800Mhz, this didn’t seem right (since HT link is at 2000? CPU to NB to SB so I thought I’d make the NB 2000) so I upped my FSB to 225 and dropped cpu multiplier to 12 (from 13.5) and put ram at stock, and BANG it worked (still going strong) but after some reading I find that 1800NB link is normal.????????
So I dropped the FSB back to 200 and multi to 13.5 and still worked fine, so I’m confused â€" currently have it at 225/12.5/HT 1100MHz/NB 2000MHz
So any help????
I know its a read but yeah,
Thanks
