In any case, until he posts back, there is very little we can do to help him.

It's a brandnew 3000+ but I am certain that the FSB should be 400mhz... I triplechecked my Newegg confirmation order and it states clearly that it is a 400. I remember buying one for that price.

At any rate I will follow the suggestions made so far but if you guys got any more ideas, feel free to post

what's the multiplier set at in your BIOS Kamui?

I"m having the exact same prblem w/ my Xp3000+ (400 MHZ)

A7N8x modo
Pny 2x512mb Dual Channel PC2700
GeForce 4 4200 Ti (5700 LE comes in tomorrow)
80 gig Seagate
dvd
cdrw


Mine detects at like 1075 i get change the multipliers and whatnot and it iwll detect it as an XP1800 but then it will either shutdown or not be happy.. if i make the FSB higher than 133 it craps out. I have the jumper for the FSB set right.

I just got mine to work. I had a plate between my heatsink and the processor.. pulled that out and everyhting started up no prob.

There are my current BIOS settings:

CPU External Frequency 166Mhz
CPU Frequency Multiple Settings AUTO
CPU Frequency Multiple 10.5X
System Performance Optimal
CPU Interface Optimal
Memory Frequency by SPD
Memory Timings 200Mhz


I havent checked for a plate yet on my CPU and the Heatsink but will do that when I get the time. Any miscorrection in the BIOS settings?

Curious. What kind of plate? How did it get there?

[klepeis]

just a plate to disperse the heat evenly across the heatsink..i don't have a type or anything, but it has slots cut out to avoid contact w/ the components on top of the chip, i didn't even think of that when i put the new chip in that the surfaces were done. but its been up and running now for like 6 hours and everything seems to be great.

I suggest setting the bios up as follows:
CPU External Frequency 200Mhz
CPU Frequency Multiple Settings Menu
CPU Frequency Multiple 10.5X (can't be adjusted)
System Performance User defined
CPU Interface Aggressive
Memory Frequency 100%
Memory Timings User defined
SDRAM Active Precharge 10
SDRAM Ras to Cas 3
SDRAM Ras Precharge 3
SDRAM Cas Latency 3
