So i have a processor which it's board is Green and it has the words AXDA2600DKV4D Z446506H42821 KQYHA0431GPMW and 27493 on one side of it.
I figured it was a Barton 2600 that can run at 1.9 GHZ but i'm only getting 1.15 GHZ.
Whenever i try changing the Multiplier to 166 X 15.5 it always seems to turn itself off even before it gets to windows.
I've also tried changing the FSB/Ram Ratio to 1:1
Changing the core Voltage to 1.65
Upgrade my firmware to version W6570NMS.780 (Latest one)
Ran it at lower multipliers and it still does the same thing.
Jumpers are in the right places according to my manual.
*********
What i have right now:
MSI K7N2 DELTA ILSR (It's like the Delta LSR but with Dolby.)
1 GB of Generic Ram. Don't know much about it but it seems to be stable at 1.1GHZ. Have done alot of video encoding with it
1 WD IDE Hard Drive.
1 Seagate SATA hard drive.
Inno 3D Geforce FX5600 128mb
Giant 500w PSU
*************************
My problem is it runs everything well but i want to use it at it's fullest speed. Please help :[
166x15.5? No wonder its shutting off. 166x11.5 is the proper FSB and multi for a barton codenamed Athlon XP 2600+
Allso, Download CPU-Z(Google it) Before you do anything more, Its likely you could have damaged it, Especially if its the wrong line of Processor.
Allso check that your heatsink is making good contact, Some socket A motherboards have a saftey to shut the PC off if the CPU reaches a predetermined tempature to prevent the chip from cooking.
