| 456461 | 2006-05-20 09:35:00 | PC's mobo is GA7ZMMH VIA KM 133 AGPset Socket A. Recently bought an Athlong XP 2400+ Thoroughbred 266 CPU, chose after browsing Gigabyte's website to replace 950MHz CPU. Installed it; reset the DRAM frequency to 133 in BIOS;In mobo CPU speed was selected to 133 value manipulating the four switches in SW1 as per Manual. This can be set betwen 95 to 145MHz. Manual aslo advises to set Clock Freq in accordance with CPU clock freq using 2 jumper set ups. However, Jumper settings are only for 100 & 133 MHz. I set this to 133 matching the SW1 value at 133. However, the system will not boot. When SW1 was set at higher speed, PC failed to work or brought up noises or so many instructions advising to use the Up/Down arrows & choose Safe Mode etc. I did all but failed to run the PC. So gave up all efforts & finally reset the PC to the original default set up at 100MHz. At one time I got a message: <windowsroot>system32\ntoskrnl.exe that this stuff is not available & so to load it. Don't konw when this came up. Is there any way that I can get this set at 133 & get the XP 2400+ CPU run at a higher speed. |
