A7V333 very slow...

[Ernst]

My A7V333 MOBO was completely dead and replaced by another A7V333
with BIOS rev 1017.
However, the system is very slow. After examininig the BIOS
is says the CPU freq is 1250Mhz! After changing it to 1662MHz,
the systems starts but at starting windows, the system complains about
not finding the primary IDE drive?
The CPU is a Athlon XP2000+ I thought this one should be able to do
1662Mhz at least.
IDE cables are the shortest possible.

Facts and settings:

A7V333 , Athlon XP2000+, 512Mb, 2 harddisks and 1 CDRW and 1 dvd

BIOS settings:

CPU frequency 1250Mhz
CPU frequency multiple 12.5
CPU/PCI 100/33
CPU/mem frequency ratio AUTO
System Performance OPTIMAL

SDRAM config BY SPD


Any help?

Have you got the boot order correct for your needs?

What speed is your memory?

What speed is your memory?

It is DDR 2700.. it used to work in the previous A7V333....

Not familiar with your mobo, however on my A7V when I crank up FSB to
accomodate faster CPU speed the VIA KT-133 chip set flakes out. You may be
overclocking your chipset to the point of failure. Increasing the 3.3V may
help the chipset overclocking, but could fry other things...memory of AGP.

But but thing is, that i'm not even in the process of overclocking at the
moment ( wish I was...). It is terrible slow at the moment; running at
1250MHz
