I've got a guy here in my A+ class at school that bought in his PC. It's an Abit KG7-RAID and athlonXP 1700. We're trying to get it to boot at 1.4xx whatever the 1700+'s speed is but it keeps locking while it's trying to boot. We've updated the BIOS and that didn't work. It runs fine at the 1500's speed (1.1GHz) but it would really be nice to have it run the speed it's supposed to.

Anybody have any suggestions? I'm in this class for another 40min and it'd be nice to solve it by the end of the period

Thanks!

[edit]
oh yeah, I've tried manually setting the FSB using the "user define" option but that didn't work. Still locked.

[edit2]
Well, we actually overclocked it. Put the FSB up to 140 instead of 133 and it seems to be running fine. It's wierd it will run faster, it will run slower, but it won't run at its designated speed?

I don't have experience with that mobo but does it have a jumper to set it to 100fsb or 133fsb modes?

I'm at home now and am too lazy to look it up, so I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it doesn't cause I remember looking around on the motherboard and saw no jumpers what so ever (except to clear CMOS)
