Computer shuts down and freezes

[Waynos_Face]

Your Dual Core processor has two cores, but still both should work and at the proper speed, it looks like you may have found your problem.

Perhaps the processor is knackered???

By the way have you ever overclocked it?

No, I have never overclocked it before. If I set it back to 3.2Ghz both cores will run with hyper threading (so it shows 4 cores) but the freezing returns.

Also, Im not sure if this is an issue or not. But FSB of this cpu is 800 (http://www.intel.com/products/processor/pentiumXE/index.htm) and in the bios it is 200. Should I change the fsb in the bios to 800 and the multiplier to 4??

Do you know if it has always picked the CPU up like that or is it only recent that it starting picking it up? Did you take CPU of and reseat the CPU into the socket on the mainboard when you took it apart?


Thanks,

How to solve the issue of system unstable while using Pentium D 830/840?
We have solved this issue via hardware. Please send the board for RMA.

Does this motherboard supports EIST technology?
Yes. But please note that this board DO NOT support EIST when install Smithfield (820/830/840/840EE) CPU. This is due to Nvidia chipset limitation.

From the MSI website.

Anyone know a good board I can buy now that is compatible with all my parts isnt expensive and isnt a complete peice of crap?

Is the board still under warranty or not?

If it is under warranty then send back for replacement

Gigabyte P31 DS3L, good budget motherboard, supports all Pentium 4, Pentium D, Pentium Dual Cores, C2D.

Has PCI-E, just make sure to check your Memory is compatable, it should be but makes sense to check.

I have it in my Numba 2 PC and i currently have my 3.0Ghz Pentium D at 3.6Ghz, good little board, stays cool as well.
