I have an ECS K7S5A mobo with a XP 1600+ in it. When I started the PC, I went into the BIOS to change the FSB to 133MHz and noticed that the Vcore was shown as 1.728V instead of 1.75V. The PC can get past POST but can't start Win2K. If I set the FSB back to 100MHz everything works, but the CPU only runs at 1.05GHz. 100FSB/133RAM doesn't seem to work either, so I'm thinking it might be faulty RAM. I'm going to try some different RAM modules now, but could the 1.728V Vcore be causing the problem?
System specs:
ECS K7S5A
AMD XP 1600+
384MB of Crucial 7E PC133 (1 x 256MB, 1 x 128MB)
Matrox G400MAX
Linksys LNE100TX NIC
Seagate Barracuda IV 40GB HD
Antec SL300S 300W PSU
BTW, CPU temperature is 37C at startup, so I don't think it's a heat problem.
