Still having problems...
1. Accidentaly fried my Duron 1ghz
2. replaced it with a athlon 700, no probs.
3. bought a duron 1.3G to replace my friends Athlon 700
4. No POST, but chips works fine...?
Everytime i place the 1.3G it won't POST or boot...well, it did once only.
The chip is currently in a sis7300 board and running fine.
I thought it could be heat problems? the thermistor on the mobo is cracked, so its not easy, but the 700 does not get hot at all. i also tried a duron 800, no probs.
With the Duron 1G tho, as soon as i put a video on, 15secs later (at the most) it would freeze or reboot.
(I fried the 1G on an overclocking spree, after way too much alcohol, and only have myself to blame)
The only other thing i can think of is that the multiplier on the KT7A stops at "12 and above" and that this might not allow it to boot properly with the 1.3G after a CMOS reset.
I may have gotten it to boot by putting the athlon 700 in, and then replacing the cpu without clearing the cmos...it would default to the cpu value of 12 and above....
Can anyone enlighten me here...?
Would the heat generated by an Athlon 700 be roughly equal to a Duron 800, 1G or 1.3G?
All aircooled, ambient 18-22C, Al coolers so far, Cu one arriving this week.
Win2k+all drivers, no software apart from winamp and MPlayer 6.4 +codecs. See KT7A specs below for full system.
