cpu upgrade


I upgraded my compaq 5000US from a 750 duron to a 1.3 athlon 266fsb and it only posts at 1ghz with 200mhz fsb. I remembered to move the jumper on the board and it booted but no video.

Where do you see this info? Is this during the BIOS POST screen, in the BIOS, during kernel loading or what?

The 200mhz might be due to your RAM limiting your Bus speed.
PC100 = 200mhz FSB
PC133 = 266mhz FSB

PC1600 = 200mhz FSB
PC2100+ = 266mhz FSB

Cool

When you say "no video" I am still confused. So you can get into your BIOS I am assuming; in your BIOS does it show the correct CPU hertz? If not, maybe you need to flash it, this could be a limit of your BIOS, 1000mhz.

You might be able to find this out from their website, or if you have a manual.

Cool

What jumper did you move, check again, if it was the clear cmos jumper, then
you have to move it back again.

MasterC got a point with the MHz limit, many of the mobo's with 100/133MHz ram
is limited to 1000-1100 MHz cpu's, so it might be some sort of failsafe thing that
it runs at 1000MHz.

The AGP-port is supposed to run at 66MHz(2*pci speed), what is the fsb-ram-pci
speed in your bios, with the new cpu it should be 133-133-33 MHz (or 133-133-33
ratio). If something goes wrong here and you got 1.33 times your pci/agp
frequency, your TNT-card will fail for sure.

One last thing, how big is the powersupply, your new processor eats ca 30 watts
more than the old one, you need something around 300watt and a big cpu-cooler,
to make your machine happy.

If you got some sort of errorcodes on upstart, post them here, they could
enlighten troubleshooting a bit.

I hope this could somehow be useful to you, and you can make it work again

I made sure it was the jumper that says 100/133. Not the cmos.

I move it to the 133 setting and it turns on but with no video at all.

250 watt ps.

Question

Hmm, i looked at the compaq website, but there was no table of the
jumpersettings!, is there any other options for the jumpers, like:
133/100 or use bios settings?

If you could get a picture on the screen it would be very helpful.
what are the values for pcu-ram-pci in the bios with the 1000/100
setting?

Taz, did you try resetting the BIOS/clearing the CMOS? If that jumper does exist, use it, if not, remove your battery (I don't know if the battery thing'll work, I've been lucky enough to have a jumper).

I've actually ran into a problem similar to that, after trying different settings in my BIOS and jackin it up. A clearing of the CMOS rescued me without affecting anything but the BIOS on the computer.

Cool
