Perpetual reboot after a new processor

[valmyron]

hello

To replace my former CPU( AMD processor XP 2200+)I buy a new one (AMD Athlon XP 3000+) and now my computer reboots perpetually (I come on the desktop before the reboot).
Could you tell me the BIOS setting (or another solutions) to stop this problem ? (I already worked with the "DRAM frequency" and the "over Vcore voltage" but without results).
BUT will there be any performance upgrade by going to a 3000+ from a 2200+ ? (if not my effort is useless)
I precise I didn't reinstall windows , the cpu is compatible and the bios is up to date.

For info I used 2 types of ram for this processor:
2x 1Go pc2100 ddr 266 133 Mhz or 2x1 Go pc 3200 ddr 400 200 Mhz but the reboot continues.

my ram is ok with my previous CPU.
my power supply is a LDLC-BG-500 ATX12V-500W.
I cleared the CMOS with a jumper by the CLRCMOS2.
The jumpers have been put correctly for the FSB.
The thermic paste is ok and well spread.
And in safe mode (for the boot) there isn't reboot.

With the former CPU my computer is ok.

Thanks for your attention.

what motherboard do you have? Is it rated for the higher FSB that the new CPU is? Could be a marginal power supply i guess, but that's a simple guess..

Perpetual reboot means a stop error without halting the system (I assume you have Windows XP), you can at least try and disable reboot after receiving BSoD (F8 before startup->"Disable restart...")..

Either a stop, or a rapid overheat due to ineffective heat-sinking (not attacher, or significantly too small).

But I'd agree, it's most likely a BSOD.

Install windows clean that will probly do the trick.

Don´t boot into windows, but into bootable cd-rom of USB with memtets and run it, if fail or reboot, it won´t be the software problem. If memtest fails, check the CPU core if isn´t chipped at corners.

Athlon 3000+ uses higher 333MHz FSB. It could be the problem. Maybe the old board, with damaged capacitators, can´t run stable.

Hello


First sorry for my late answer but my professional agenda,reinstall windows and no access to internet provoced that.

After some some try with these commands in line ("i386\winnt32 /attend"or"SFC /scannow") and a reparation with windows CD with no results I reinstalled windows and boum : reboot during the reinstallation !

so my conclusion : my new CPU is off.

since I reinstalled windows with the first CPU.


thanks again for your support


have a nice day.

ps:so the suject is closed.
