Hello I need some help
I have just built a brand new system
Motherboard: gigbyte GA-7N400
Proccessor: amd athlon XP barton 3000+
1 gig of kingston ram
Windows XP pro
======================
Problem: The computer will recieve errors installing software after a few minutes of runing, even during the install of the OS.
hiting retry will resume the installation without any problems.
The computer gets BSD (blue screen of death)
Software randomly shuts off
computer will turn off after a while of runing
=============================
Here is what I did to trouble shoot the problem
reinstall the OS
checked the bios settings 10 times
checked and made sure that the heat sink is installed properly (on the processor)
updated bios
==========================
what I found
when switching the auto detection for the processor switch and letting it run at half the speed I have no problems what so ever.
the computer can keep on runing. but the system does not recoqnise the processor and it is runing it at 1.2 gig instead of 2.2.
So this leads me to believe that that my processor might be broken, or I might be missing some bios setting.
ram, corupt hardrive, or OS trouble is eliminated as a cause of the problems in my opinion but i could be wrong.
Does anyone have any better idea on this? I am very unshure of this.
help would be greatly apriciated.
