Hello. I've got a computer built around the Jetway 694AS motherboard. I
bought the motherboard second hand a few months back, and it came with a
PentiumIII 700Mhz processor, 128MB memory and an old PCI video card.
It's worked alright until recently. It is now pretty much unusable. It
crashes every 5 - 10 mins with a WindowsXP stop screen. The error codes are
different and sometimes the crash occurs before windows even opens. I think
this level of instability suggests a hardware fault.
On one occasion the computer failed to bootup and the motherboard generated
lots of error beeps and finally a message displayed saying something like
'Warning The system has crashed due to overclocking. The system speed has
been temporarily resorted to the default.'
It successfully booted up and loaded Windows, but after a couple of minutes
Windows crashed with a blue Stop screen.
There is a jumper that can be set to one of 3 CPU bus frequencies. Either
66, 100 or 133Mhz and the speed can then be increased in the BIOS. This is
how to overclock it. I have not changed any settings, they are the ones in
use when I bought it.
It is currently set at 133Mhz, with no increase in the BIOS setting. In
other words its set at 133 with no over-clocking.
Is there anyone familiar with this motherboard who could suggest what could
be wrong.?
Thanks.
