It is definatley NOT a Barton, its L2 cache is 256. The 1M test took
exactly 1min 05 Sec. The answer may be cooling but even running at
full Xp2800 (2250 mhz) speed with the side of the case off with a desk
fan blowing into the case it still cuts out after only seconds.

i don’t have much hope that upgrading the bios would help. that is a
rare cpu so i don’t think it would be included in a newer bios.

let’s try this. run that superpi speed test with your present
settings. that way we have something to compare to. then set your
multiplier to 11, clear bios, fire the rig up and enter bios. set your
cpu and mem to run 1:1 at 200fsb. it should boot without a problem as
long as you leave the vcore at the 5% boost you have now. run super pi
again. you should be in the low 50sec range.

if everything goes well then shut ’er down again and change the jumper
to 11.5, clear cmos and set up as before. keep your finger crossed and
run pi again if you make it to windows.

good luck!

Nope, won’t let me run the CPU at 200mhz, even tried dropping it to 10
x 200. Just blue screens and re-starts.

if your trying to depress me, quit!

download the memory 86 and run it.

it runs in dos and checks memory errors.

SORRY BUT MEM TEST SAYS EVERYTHING IS FINE.

I THINK MY CPU IS BAD. I HAVE TRIED ONCE MORE TO RUN IT AT 13.5 X 166
AND IT BOOTS UP WINDOWS THEN AS SOON AS IT IS ASKED TO DO ANYTHING AT
ALL IT RESTARTS.

THINK I’LL JUST KEEP RUNNING IT AS A XP 2700.

UNLESS EINSTEIN COMES ALONG WITH A SOLUTION DON’T THINK IT WILL GET
FIXED. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP GUYS.

Hi,

You might also try the Asrock K7 forum at http://rhcf.com:

They seem to be quite knowledgeable on the Asrock mobos...
