ok i've changed my processer from what i had to a 3.0GHz Processor, P4 Prescott 1MB catch.. but i'm having problems.. when i start my pc the screen doesn't show anything... like its disconnected.. could it be my PSU? or did i do something wrong maybe? or the P4 i putted in doesnt work with my motherboard? any ideas?

Erez · 08-17-2005, 11:06 AM

i changed the PSU from mine (300W) to my sis (400W) and still no good..
(i dont edit the post becouse then it wont show as a new msg..)

PLEASE HELP ME... :cry:

edit- i changed it back and it works.. what i'm thinking is that the motherboard is the problem maker... any ideas??

here is the info of the cpu i want to put in-

nfire: YAY!! with a simple update of the bios i got the 3.0GHz to work! (and i gave to my sis my old processor, the 2.8, and untill she'll be back i took another 256MB of ram

so now i got 1.25GB of ram 8) sweet.. finally i found some use for having a sister

) and just by writing this i can tell the speed diff!!

here is the "new" spec:

i'm so happy i got it to work.. (only took me the whole day

ops: :roll: )

[and i'm really sorry for the whole post whoring..

Now OC that 3.0ghz

But you need some a proper dual chanell memory kit, dont know how it will work with three sticks

Erez · 08-17-2005, 03:24 PM

:roll: actually 4 sticks now..

proper memory kit will be the next thing...
could you help me with the test.. where and how etc...

thanks

SFDMALEX · 08-17-2005, 03:27 PM

Well I dont recomend OCing right now that you have a bunch of random sticks in there, becasue when you OC the chip you also OC the ram and them being all different its not going to work good, or at all.

As stress tests download the programs Super PI and Prime 95. They are pretty straight forward, no explenation needed.

Erez · 08-17-2005, 03:30 PM

all the specs on all of them is the same.. (i'm pretty sure.. want me to upload what CPU-Z is saying about everyone of them?)

SFDMALEX · 08-17-2005, 03:33 PM

Sure. So are they all 256mb sticks? They all have to be indentical size and spec and brand.

Erez · 08-17-2005, 04:05 PM

no they're not the same brand.. 3 are 256MB and one is 512MB, but all of the specs seems to be the same..

btw- how do i know from Super PI if my sys is any stable? all i got is size and time next to it..

pharzo · 08-17-2005, 04:18 PM

run speedfan alongside Super PI and see and if your system starts to act up

And check how high the temp goes for the processor (usually Temp2)

Seeing as you're not overclocking, you could try going to 10% on the JumperFree, and then do the speedfan and Super PI thing again. You may also want to stick the 512 Infineon in the first slot. From the looks of things all you need now is a current gen Graphics card and you're good to go for a year or so

Erez · 08-17-2005, 04:23 PM

what do you mean? "starts to act up" what am i looking for?

(wow how much have changed in 2 years :roll: )

pharzo · 08-17-2005, 04:26 PM

Well obvious stuff, like Windows errors, or the infamous Blue Screen. If you get errors from heat or instability, you'll know them you see them

Erez · 08-17-2005, 04:29 PM

thanks.. i also started prime95 any idea how to use it?

edit- all the errors would happen just under running a test on super pi? should i run like a big test for that 16MB\32MB?

pharzo · 08-17-2005, 04:31 PM

Yeah, you have to get exponents from the server. But you don't really have to bother with that if you have Super PI. It's just as good, and not as fussy
