AMD Thunderbird 1.4GHz not at full speed

[studgibson]

Alright, before I can ask you about overclocking, I need it to run at it's regular 1.4GHz speed. Everytime I set the CPU to run at 1.4GHz a blue screen comes up and tells me about a physical memory dump. It runs fine at 1.05GHz but if I wanted a computer of that speed, I woudn't have bought a 1.4 GHz. So what do ya figure's wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance

Easy peasy - go into the BIOs and change the FSB from 100 to 133 - voila

btw do it slowly but surely - go to 115 first then 133 for example.. and to access BIOS hit delete or F1 key at first displayed screen at boot up

Hello and welcome to sysopt!



try settin it at133mhz fsb in the bios!


does your motherboard support 133mhz fsb?

what kinda motherboard is it!?

Since -- from your description it seems -- you are able to boot at 133mHz (1.4gHz) until a BSOD occurs, I'd look at your ram... is your memory rated to run at 133mHz or just 100mHz? Can you try less aggressive memory timings? Another possibility is a marginal heat sink/fan, or improperly installed HS/F... that 1.4TBird puts out a pretty good amount of heat... about 48watts at 1050mHz and 64watts at 1400mHz
