Hi all ,
This forum seems to be the only one with the know how to perhaps help me !
My sys ..MSI KT333 ULTRA mobo , creative audigy soundcard , Creative Geforce 4 TI 4400 , 512 DDR Ram , Xp 2200 processor .
Problem : I got the sys with an OS installed , Win XP , but as it wasnt my copy I reformatted the HD and tried then to install Win98/ Xp . I kept getting repeated varying blue screen crashes when the FSB was set to 133 , so changed the BIOS settings to default and no problems . I updated my via chipset drivers , got all the latest drivers for the cards, even flashed my mobo BIOS with the latest update from the website. The system is completely stable at default settings with the FSB at 100 , the processor runs at 1500 .
However , if I set the FSB to 133 , the system becomes totally unstable . Again varying blue screen crashes . I set the spread spectrum to disabled as per the manual to enhance stability but still no joy. The MSI website states the processor is supported , but with the ratio at 13.5 However , this ration is not in the BIOS Settings .
Help ! Why cant I get my system to run at normal processr speeds ?? I`ve switched the DDR ram in its slot , no change !:snip:
Thanks for your time ,
Gerry
ps I see other posts re the KT333 chipset on here + the Audigy soundcard causing problems ..maybe the issue ??
