System Will not run at FSB166

Ok, well after playing with several configurations i am still no further forward on my little CPU FSB Saga.
So this is what i have found out so far and maybe someone can shed some light.
I have a Barton 2800+ CPU, if i run this CPU at its correct FSB of 166 my system is very unstable. 3dMark03 Will lock during the CPU test and if i use Prime95 my PC will lock within 30 Seconds. Grrrrrrr, ( Lots of profanity )
So i clocked my CPU to 133FSB, now its just an XP2200, well thats what it says anyway.
However no more lock ups. 3dMark03 runs through without a problem, Prime95 runs for hours without an error.
So i decided to try something else, in my other PC i have an XP2000+ FSB133 CPU running on an MSI KT3 Ultra Board. This PC works like a dream.
I took the CPU out of there and put it in to my K7N2 Delta Board and setup the FSB as 133 ( Correct for the CPU )
And what happened, well it started to lock up again.
So i clocked the FSB down to 100 and now this CPU works fine in the delta board with no Lock ups.
So has anyone got any idea why my cpu's will not run at there correct FSB on this board.
My 2800+ will run at 133FSB and not 166FSB
My 2000+ will run at 100FSB and not 133FSB
I know that the CPU must be ok because upon returning the XP2000+ back to the KT3 Ultra Board i have it works fine without a problem with 3dmark03 and Prime95.
Its only when it is in my K7N2 Delta board running at the correct FSB.
Your thoughts on this are much appreciated.

Up on the advice of the guy at MSI Technical Support in the USA i took my K7N2 Delta board back and got a brand new one. Rebuilt and re-installed my system and my god it worked. I am now running my Barton 2800+ at the correct FSB of 166 and now the correct speed. Prime95 and 3d Mark03 run without a problem.
On my old board Prime95 would lock my system in less than 30 seconds, its been running for 6 hours now without error. The CPU test in 3dmark 03 would lock everytime and now i\'ve run it thirty times and it goes through everytime.
So yes i guess my motherboard was just screwed.
However i have noticed some difference between my first K7N2 board and my new one. These may mean nothing, thoughts on these would be good.
Old Board came with Bios 7.0 on it.
New board has Bios 7.2
Old board Manual was red colour and Raid Manual was Blue
New Board Manual was orange colour and Raid was Green
Old Board had no sticker on South Bridge
New Board had a FSB400 Green Sticker on South Bridge.
Plus i have noticed that the voltages and temperatures on my new board are much more stable than before. Less jumping up and down.
Everything else i think was the same.
I know they are minor and may mean nothing, it was the sticker that i found interesting. Why did my first board not have that. Why suddenly put it on ?
Anyway, one new board later and my barton 2800+ is now running stable, so i\'m happy and i guess this proves the boards can work with them.
A special thanks to wonkanoby, your help in this issue was most appreciated. You certainly did make me think about a few things. I have of course mad sure i have re-fitted my heatsink right =) even put some nice as3 on it.
Anyway, i\'m not sure what to suggest to you guys still having problems. Does your south bridge have a sticker on it? Maybe they have a new version of the board out, i don\'t know. Comments People? does anyone know anything.
Well this draws my story to a close.
Good luck to everyone else, hope you get your systems running.

Congratulations... I'm glad that it worked out for you.  
But what you are telling me seems that MSI put a new release of the board on the market with a lot of bugfixes in it  :( .
But this means that i have to get 2 boards back to the shop and claim 2 new boards. But the problem is that i have to drive about 3 hours and have to pay because i have the boards for a month now. This is in my eyes unacceptable. I'm going to write MSI and ask them if the have another idea to help me out. But i'm glad that we know what the problem is and i give you a lot of pleasure with the machine.  )  )  )  )

  • Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

    I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
    I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

    The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
    Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
    Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
    Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?

  • Battery shows as having charge in System Profiler yet will not run from bat

    My MacBook is about a year and half old. My battery just started doing this a few days ago. It shows as not charging. Checking the battery shows that it has 85% power left (this was 86% the day it started). The magsafe connector stays green. The MacBook will not run without the power connected.
    I am not sure if this is an issue with the battery, the batteries connector, or with my MacBook. I'm pretty tight fro cash right now and need my MacBook working. I don't have money to throw at parts I don't need. If anyone has experienced this issue before and has any insight please let me know. I'm a starving web programmer and I need to be able to bring my MacBook with me to meet with clients.

    Do you think it is software. It will not even boot when the power is not connected. I was thinking it was a problems with ACPI in the EFI BIOS. The strange thing is just a moment ago the magsafe went orange and the power states calculating. This is the first time I've seen the magsafe orange since this started four days ago. I came back to this thread to update it with this little tidbit and saw your reply.

  • HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Sorry for being unclear.
    When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list).  I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account).  I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro.  When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying  "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
    I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite.  FCP was working fine until the upgrade.  Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

  • "Bookmarks and history system will not be functional" with corrupt files found by Avast and websites loading slow ONLY in Firefox

    Firefox is the only browser that lets me connect with my microphone. I need to use this feature for an online class. Earlier this evening, the message prompting me to allow or deny the class website permission to use the microphone stopped appearing, and without it the recording won't pick up any sound and I can't record anything.
    I tried exiting and restarting Firefox. I had some extensions in use at the time, in particular Session Manager. The allow/deny message still wouldn't appear, so I restarted my computer.
    Now when I open Firefox I see the "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message. In addition, the browser loads websites extremely slowly; it takes several minutes to load each page or for me to be able to click on anything (the URL bar, the menus, etc) My other browsers (Internet Explorer and Chrome) are running normally and load websites at a normal speed. I tried downloading the latest version of Firefox but it didn't fix anything. I also tried restarting the computer again but that didn't help either.
    I ran my Avast software system check and it turned up that the following files under "C:\Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Irozixj7.default" are "corrupted and unreadable":
    -cookies.sqlite-shm
    -cookies.sqlite-wal
    -localstore.rdf
    -places.sqlite-shm
    There was one more problem on the scan, but it probably isn't relevant: for the file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\{9A2C6FA7-E04E-4819-B86A-8363A9D1E42A}\mpengine.dll" it says "The system cannot find the path specified." When I attempted to follow the path indicated, one of the folders (I can't remember which) said something along the lines of "You can't access this folder, do you want to permanently allow access to this folder?" I said yes and was able to access the folder.
    I have tried to add the Places Maintenance extension but the speed is too sluggish to download anything. Trying to access any of the menus results in the browser freezing for several minutes then unfreezing but with the menu still unopened. Therefore none of the solutions found here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?esab=a&as=aaq) seem to work.
    My questions are as follows:
    -Is it possible to figure out what caused the problem in the first place?
    -Is there a way for me to fix it without losing my bookmarks and history?
    -How can I avoid this happening again in the future?

    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder. To quickly access this folder:
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Next, keep this folder open, exit Firefox, and try moving the "corrupted and unreadable" files to a different folder. With the exception of localstore.rdf, which stores window positions, toolbar customizations, and other nonessential data, the other files appear to be session-specific files that hopefully are not critical. If you restart Firefox, does it behave more normally?
    If not, try creating a fresh Firefox profile. It will have the Flash plugin, which is the control sites usually use to connects your camera and/or microphone, and other plugins, but otherwise will be a new setup. This article has the steps for starting up in the Profile Manager: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].
    If sites work normally in the new profile, you can import your bookmarks from your old profile, as well as copying over other files that don't seem to be causing the problem. Some trial and error might be required to determine that. This article has some tips: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
    If the new profile is no better, you can exit Firefox and use the Profile Manager to switch back to your original profile.
    Any improvement?

  • Downloaded safari 6.0.4 but it will not run on 10.6.8 on

    I downloaded safair 6.0.4 to a macbook running 10.6.8 but Safari will not run the new verstion, only the 5.9.1??

    For 10.6.8 you need Safari 5.1.10.
    Ideally, you'd now install a system backup made before you got 6.0.4 on there... if that's not possible, download Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard & use Pacifist to 'force' the install, then restart. Backup first, if you haven't already.

    you can't fault adobe for failing to design ps 5 so it would be compatibile with an os that wasn't in existance when ps 5 was released.
