On Saturday I set about instaling my new motherboard.
MSI KT4AV
I was planning to use my current XP1800 processor to start with and planned
to upgrade latter.
cleaned and Installed CPU and heatsink using new layer of Arctic Silver.
First boot was OK, booted to windows.
Next boot, I went into Bios setup and changed FSB from 100Mhz Default to
133Mhz
Rebooted and the system died.
The MSI motherboard has a panel with 4 diagnostic Leds and these indicated a
processor fault.
Tried CMOS reset to return to 100Mhz FSB, but this didn't help.
removed and reinstalled CPU. but nothing.
Reinstalled CPU into my origninal board but still nothing
Seams like CPU is toasted but doen't look or smell burnt.
Replaced CPU with new XP3000+ and this is now running fine at full speed
(166MHz FSB) in the new MSI board
Any body any idea what went wrong with the first CPU? I checked the temp of
the CPU before i increased the FSB speed and it was running at 41degrees. I
have no idea what caused the processor to burn.
