Need Help Urgent

elementz_03 · 01-29-2005, 07:29 AM

hello, the problem is my 1600+ AMD XP runs at @ 1400mhz is only showing up as 1025mhz. I'm running a Gigabyte 7N400S(-L) nForce 2 chipset, theres no option to change the multiply in the bios i cant find it, i updated bios i think to the latest 1 using @bios and it hasnt made a difference. Also maybe the techcian made a mistake and put a 1gig cpu instead of my 1600 amd xp, really need your help........

www.cpu-z.com .... download cpu-z from here .... and see what your processor gets identified as ......

also, you could have manually set the memory speed wrongly .... check that too ....

thats why your Asus board did not work methinks ..... cuz it might not be supporting the Athlon MP .....

dude i never had a MP processor it was just a AMD XP 1600+ and the asus reconised it. The bored itself was DOA as u said thats why i this this tech 2 check it out and he said himsefl it's the mobo. He must have replaced the cpu it by accident i know where he lives, going to have to ring him.

was my old 1 better? even tho it wasnt an MP

sammy2066 · 01-29-2005, 07:43 AM

well .... 300Mhz doesn't hurt .... atleast on an AMD ....

sammy to confirm it check the cpu-z info pic, i'l give you that thing u wanted for ur rep just tell me what to do

I may be wrong, but this is my thought. Your Athlon 1600+ has an unlocked multiplier, does it not? I'm not familiar with the Gigabyte bios, but there should be a "System Performance" setting under Advanced Chipset Features that frees the CPU Frequency setting to allow you to change the multiplier. The reading you're getting from cpu-z is based on the present setup of the CPU, which at present reflects what a MP processor is. It doesn't mean you actually have one.

elementz_03 · 01-29-2005, 07:56 AM

ok, i'l try that now. thanks

garnet bro .... he said he had an athlon xp 1600+ previously .....so I would bet on the chip being mistakenly changed .....

I had asked him to check his multiplier settings, he said he did not have them in the bios .....

elementz_03 · 01-29-2005, 08:03 AM
