amd athlon 3000+ 994mhz?

I'm just wondering -- Did you enable Cool n' Quiet in your BIOS? If you did, that's why your getting a X5 Multipier. Turn on Core Cell or AI-Nos for Asus boards Or turn of Cool n' Quiet.

 

and chaginng these will help my comp? cos i aint conferdent with these things, couls this be the reason my comp is starting in fail safe mode? and also thanks for the help

 

Did you already check if Cool n Quiet is enabled? It's in the BIOS, too.

 

yea my manual told me to go to minimal power thingy, shall i have it as family one instead?

 

were abouts in the bios does it say cool n quiet??

 

What's yor MOBO? It should be inside one of the advanced options or the Cell Menu. Lokk in you manual and chack if you do have Cool n' Quiet Technology. If you do, I'm pretty sure that's what's causing your concern. And if it is, don't worry. You'll have all the power you need when you need it. What's your board?

 

abit fatality an8 i cant find cool and quiet on ne of my settings and my computer is toaly runied it take aboit 30 reboots to get it running then it starts in fail safe.......its driving me mad

 

Okay, just relax. Power up your PC and go into BIOS. Now, find the function that says "Load Setup Defaults" and enable it. Re-boot and see what happens. Check back.

 

ITS WORKING OMG I WANNA HAVE UR BABIES WHAT HAPPENED WAS A TECHNICIAN HAD A LOOK IN MY BIOS AND CHANGED SOME THINGS AND MOST OF FORGOT TO CHANGE THEM BACK!!

Naah. Just be sure to load the drivers that came with the mobo and you'll be okay. Good luck.

 

wnt have to install xp again? if i get stuck im sure ill get help from these lovely people

 

load up and see if it works, you shouldn't need to install XP again as its the CPU that was the problem, not the HDD, glad someone could help, nice one bobbyk, i should of thought of that, its helped me out a few times when my bios got screwed, just load defaults then adjust what i need to adjust.
Well hope all goes well.
