BIOS refuses to match FSB freq with MEM freq
I just got a shuttle MN31N Mainboard that supports 333 FSB and an
Athlon Barton 2500+ that runs on the 333 FSB. When booting the screen shows the Athlon at 1100mhz and memory at 333 mhz. Changing the FSB from 100 to 166 still shows the Athlon at 1100 and the memory shows speed at 200 MHZ and the system says it is in safe mode and won't proceed. The only 2 memory adjustments that you can make in the BIOS are [by Speed] or [Auto] and neither adjustment will get the system to boot with the FSB at 166. If I run the system at 100 FSB memory at 333MHZ it is very unstable, getting to windows about 80% of the time but crashing when any program tries to run. Any suggestions? |
