Asus A7V333 crashes after swap to 2400+
I have a machine built on an Asus A7V333. I had been running an 1800+
and it was working perfectly. I got a new 2400+ as part of a MoBo/Proc package deal at Fry's. I built a new machine for my son using the old 1800+ and new board and put the 2400+ into my A7V333. Now my computer boots fine but crashes after a short time. It goes into safe mode with the message: "Windows detected and recovered from a device failure..." If I set the CPU/PCI frequency manually to below 130, it seems to be more stable and I haven't had a crash at below 125. The particulars: 3 X 256 mb Crucial 2100 CT3264Z265 RAM BIOS Ver. 1018.001 (Beta) Processor: AXDA2400DKV3 266MHz FSB (An old one?) Windows XP Pro Processor Temperature 48C-56C BIOS settings: CPU Speed... 2000 Freq. Multiplier... 15X PU/Memory ratio... Auto Vcore Setting... Auto I thought the problem might be the power supply, so I replaced it with an Antec 400W but still have the same problem. Other than the processor and PS, I changed nothing in the machine. I checked the memory by removing/replacing the modules but it didn't help. If it's a bum processor, I need to figure it out within the next few days to be able to exchange it. Thanks very much for any help. |

The early abit 333 boards wouldnt work with the 2000+ XPs unless you unlocked the chips or something. I got a swap on my board when I RMAd it to 1.1. |

Thanks very much for any help. I would change the memory ratio to Synchronous, not auto, as I believe that board would otherwise run memory at +33MHz, even though it's often a negligable or no performance increase. I'd also try an earlier bios, not a beta. However since the other processor worked I'd more likely suspect an inadequate power supply or heat-related, inadequate CPU heatsink or chassis cooling. Even though your CPU temp "seems" ok, we're going under the assumption that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except the processor was changed? That is, no bios settings or memory, the only difference now is the physical processor, and it's multiplier used? Was the XP1800 a Thoroughbred or a Palomino? What revision is your motherboard? When you leave the vcore set to auto, what does it read in the Asus PCProbe? If you hadn't just switched the processor I would've "guessed" that the instability was due to running 3 x PC2100 memory modules at the 166MHz (FSB +33MHz) setting, and would've suggested setting the memory manually to slower timings (higher numbers) in the bios, but since your current settings worked previously...

Update...
I'm pretty sure it's the processor. I swapped it into the computer with the board that came with it in the bundle and that one wouldn't even boot. I'll trade it in for another and post back. Thanks very much for your help. |
