Hi folks,
I have just replaced the stock HSF on my machine with a better one. That went fine, but when I went to boot up I got a BIOS screen. There was a message that since the CPU had been replaced (it wasn't), the CPU would start out at 1.3 GHZ. This is an XP2100 which is rated to run at about 1.7 GHZ. The option is then prersented to adjust the speed back up to 1.7 GHZ, which I do. Save changes and exit....
During POST.......I get the audio message (female voice from ASUS)....
"Power on self test failed due to overclocked CPU....."
As I say, at 1.7, this chip is NOT overclocked. Repeated boots yield same message. Right now...the only way to boot the machine is to either go with the minimum option presented of 1.3 or switch to manual on the CPU and UNDER-clock to somewhere lower than 1.7
In short....I can't run my machine at its rated speed since changing the HSF. It thinks I switched CPU and I didn't....all I changed was the HSF.
The specs:
ASUS A7V333 mobo (set to jumper-free mode)
AMD Athlon XP2100
256 MB PC2700 DDR
Thermaltake Volcano 7+ is the new HSF
