Are you certain you have a rev 2.0 board ?

This sounds a lot like a divider problem.

Does the board use an ICS 94228 clockgen ?

If you like to experiment, try this:

This allows setting the clock generator while in Windows.
Perhaps you can check/set the clock that way.

HTH,

Send your observations to Asus tech support, so the BIOS will
get fixed. Maybe a fix they put in the BIOS long ago, did
not get included in their 1017 release. They don't seem to test
these BIOS changes very well.

Hi,

i've read a lot about the A7V333 mobo and if it is possible for
upgrading with a barton processor.
Well for me it did. I wanted a 3000+ but these were sold out,
so i bought the 2800+

As i'm writing now, my pc runs with these components:
A7V333 rev 1.01 with bios 1017
Athlon XP 2800+ (barton core)@ 333Mhz
1.0 Gig ram running @ 333Mhz

Sorry for my bad english ;-}
