Help: Athlon XP won't run at proper bus speed on kt3 ms6380

Ok, I'm a little confused now but i pulled an AMD athlon 1300 a1300aps3b (200mhz bus) out of the computer. It was working, but i didn't note the speed.
Then i went to test an amd athlon XP 1700 ax1700dmt3c which i had laying around. I thought that this proc was bad months ago. It didn't work when i put it in until i reset the bios config.
The board is an MSI KT3 ULTRA MS-6380e:
Now it works, but runs at 1100mhz (100x11), and it should be 1467 (133x11). Changing the fsb in the bios to 133 (from 100) results in no post. Changing the multiplier does nothing. On top of that i can't get the other proc to post anymore either
Any ideas? does this sound like a motherboard problem, a processor problem, or do i just not have the config correct?
Hmm, on top of this, there seems to be some gibberish in the bios when i scroll through voltage settings.
So is it more common for a mobo to fry a proc or vice versa? I would like to test out this stuff with another system.

What more information is there to provide about the CPU's besides what i've already given?
The cpu was use to work in the computer was an AMD athlon a1300aps3b, 1300mhz, 200mhz fsb, 1.7v, 256k cache.
The cpu that i swapped in and that ran succesfully but only at 1100mhz was a amd athlon XP ax1700dmt3c 1700mhz, 266fsb, 256k cache.
The ram is KVR266X64C25/512 DDR 266bus speed.
The i've tried 3 different power supplies, some older no name brand ones, and a newer xclio 500 watt. I've tested the rails on the psu's and they are good.
I swapped out the geforce 4200 for a small pci video card to make sure it wasn't consuming too much power. I can still boot with the xp 1700, but at only 1100mhz, and i can't boot with the 1300 at all.
Nothing else in the system matters because i've taken everything off and i'm running the system outside of the case on a rubber matt; to make sure it's not a short.
I did notice that the system will boot an then immediately shut off if the heat sink isn't fully clamped on or flush. But i've got that sorted out as well. I have read all the stickies and guides.
So, does this information help you any further? Can a bad processor mess up a motherboard? Or, if it's the motherboard, should i not try another processor in it for fear of frying it?

  • Please Help - iTunes installer won't run on double-click

    I am facing a reload of Win 7 x64 tonight if I don't get this fixed. When I run the installer all it does is create a temp folder and put an .msi in there. Nothing else happens. No errors or messages, no hung processes. nothing.
    I've completely uninstalled itunes and every apple product. I've tried QuickTime independently and it does the same thing. The Windows installer is clean with no Apple entries. I initially got the message "itunes + QuickTime have an invalid signature" when trying to upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2 which prompted me to completely remove everything. My iPhone4 is coming Thursday so I've got to get this working!!
    thanks all.

    I had this same problem. I followed the instructions on how to use MSCONFIG listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275
    In my case, iTunes & Quicktime were already uninstalled, so I just skipped the step about checking "qtask" & "iTunes Helper."
    I used MSCONFIG to re-boot in selective start up mode. Then, I fully shutdown Virus protection. The iTunes installer ran after doing this.

  • Help!  iTunes won't run after 7.3.1 installation

    This is a first for me... I've never had a problem with iTunes.
    I did the upgrade/ update and now I can't open iTunes.
    I get the following message: "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration.
    I tried to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it... no dice.
    Anyone got a way around this one?
    Thanks!
    Scott Dakers

    Hi Scott,
    Since iTunes uses QuickTime to play audio/video content in iTunes, that error message most likely indicates that there's a problem with your Quicktime installation.
    See this knowledge base article for troubleshooting info about this issue:

  • K7N2-L won't run CPU at full speed.

    I can get my system running fine with FSB jumpered to 100mhz. change it to 133/166 and the system freezes on boot up (after POST just before veryfing DMA pool...)
    D-Bracket Showing top right red (floppy drive controller) most of the time, though other errors have occurred.
    I am using 2700 DDR 2 sticks of 256 (one branded one unbranded) I have tried every combo of these and always the same result.
    I have also tried with a 1900XP and 2100XP which both run fine on my other comp.
    The 1900 posts as 1200 and teh 2100 posts as 1500+
    Can anyone enlighten me as to how I resolve this.
    I have tried many things but bound to be some detail I have missed.
    Thanks :D

    Fitted new PSU CWT-450BDP
    and 2100XP thoroughbred b proc
    and Corsair XMS 512mb pc2700 333mhz
    and set jumpers to 133/166mhz
    and turned on and....
    BINGO booted up fine!!!
       :D  :]  )
    Now I am wondering....
    Whats my overclocking potential??
    And my 3dmark2003 score has only gone up slightly (from 3700 to 3850)
    I woulda thought this increase should be more on a CPU increase from 1200 to 1733...
    Any thought appreciated

  • Firefox won't run at dial up speed

    When I reach my monthly data cap I am reduced to dialup speed. When this happens ( this has occured before ), Firefox fails to start. firefox.exe appears in the running proccesses but nothing on the desktop or as an open application in task manager. Why is this, please? and how can I fix it? Am currently using IE.

    Firefox should start,even if you are not online, it may then encounter problems trying to open your homepages or previous pages using a slow line. One possibility is that it is having problems as it did not initially shut down correctly.
    Have a look at [[firefox will not start]] for troubleshooting advice.

    You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
    Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

  • Please help, CS3 won't run with 10.5.2!  Please!

    Installed 10.5.2 on my g5 dual 2.5 w 4.5 gigs ram (NOT) intel. Now my AE projects won't run. One started to and then quit. This is major for me. Involves dozens of projects. Please help.

    Yes, my powerbook is also trouble-free.
    But it's just too slow to run AE on.
    And yes, yes, I did repair permissions. I did everything including a "safe" starup, repair permissions many many times, etc. etc. etc.
    I'm beginning to think the problem with AE was with non-ae plugins. But then why did automator and software update cease to work?????

    Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.

  • X server won't run (x86)

    I have just installed Solaris 10 x86 and Xwindows aren't working. They showed up fine during the install.
    I have run kdmconfig, which complains that it can't read the Xorg info. It seems to deal with Xsun fine, and the Xsun test works, but selecting Xsun doesn't help.
    I ran xorgconfig, and carefully chose my settings. I'm using an ATI Radeon X800 video card, so I selected the [radeon] driver. My exact mouse and keyboard were options, and I used my monitor's manual to enter those settings. The file is at /etc/X11/xorg.conf (the default location), and is world readable. I'm also doing everything as root.
    Xsession, gnome-session, dtlogin, and xinit all fail to work. I ran Xsun directly, and it came up, but without configuation from xinit there's no menus, etc, and no way to exit - I had to power down!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Update:
    I have now run Xorg successfully using xinit, but still can't get a proper desktop. 'xinit Xsession' starts up the X server, then just exits. I wish there were logs for Xsession.
    I also tried 'xinit dtlogin', but that won't run due to a missing libDtSvc.so.1. The /usr/dt/lib/libDtSvc.so is a soft link that points to libDtSvc.so.1, which doesn't exist. Perhaps it didn't get installed?

  • I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

    I ended up putting it in DFU mode.  It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
    Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
    So I used redsn0w.  I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
    Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.
