Then put peripherals in one by one to identify which one causes the lockup. My system will not boot-up when I set my CPU to 133MHz FSB. It works with 100MHz FSB 1. Make sure to put some thermal paste on the CPU. 2. CPU might be defective. 3. Use an AMD approved power supply of at least 350 watts.
SY-K7VMP Quick Start Guide I’m using a 133MHz FSB CPU, I cannot find the DDR 100MHz option in the BIOS, why? The DDR speed should not be lower than the CPU FSB speed. VGA Issue I cannot set my VGA to go higher than 16 color (640x 480). 1. Make sure that you have installed the VIA 4 in 1 driver set. 2. Install/ re-install the VGA driver. After waking up from Suspend to RAM or Standby mode, the screen has no display but I can hear the hard disk operating 1. Install the VIA 4 in 1 driver set. 2.
