Front side bus won't run at 133Mhz
I just bought a Pentium III(1Ghz) and installed it, but I
can't get the bus to run at top speed. It will only run at 66Mhz. The computer runs at 500Mhz, but when I set the bus speed to 133Mhz it hangs up. It seems to post correctly, and I can get to the place where you are given options of how to load Windows, but even in safe mode it locks up. It gives me a message saying that Windows\System32\Config\system file is missing or corrupt. Any help would be appreciated. Chris Miller |

Front side bus won't run at 133Mhz
What does your motherboard manual say about upgrading the
CPU? Does your motherboard use the BIOS to set FSB, CPU multiplier, etc. or do you have jumpers to set? Is your RAM rated PC133? You can download the Bel Arc Advisor www.belarc.com or AIDA32 http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php and get a reading on your motherboard model and other data you might need to complete your upgrade.
