Man, yesterday i turn on my pc, and for my surprise i got a award bootblock error msg: BIOS ROM checksum error.
Ok , fine, i got a floopy drive and upgraded the bios.

But the pc wasnt accting normal.
It just didnt reboot, only turn off.
Ive tried other processor, 2000+ and worked fine.
But ive tried my Processor on other MOBO and didnt work.
Now, sometimes it doesnt turn on, and when it works it suddently turns off!
What could be the problem, the MOBO or the processor?

I am guessing the processor....

Yeah, probably the processor or motherboard. You might want to try upgrading your bios. Maybe it's a known issue that you have been lucky enough not to run into at this point? Hey, it could happen.

sounds like a corrupted BIOS

 

[Mad]

Guess what?
Both!!
AHHHHHHHHH.
The MOBO can be fixed, but the processor, you guys wont believe, ill post some screens later, its a "AMD ATHLON 9200MHZ" !!!!!!
Ill fix the MOBO for now, and get a 2600+. Later ill the board and get a a7x8x-x.

Sounds like your CPU to me, still it's possible that your motherboard is screwed.
Some of you know what happened to my computer, FYI I still use that motherboard. It's kind of unstable... but it works somehow ^^

Unlucky me.
The stores here just ran out of 2600+.
They only got 2700+ BOX, which is way too expensive for me now, and i already have the AMD Cooler.
And i was saving for a FX 5700, now it will jsut have to wait some more....

I am pretty sure your computer is full of screwups and such. Even with the choice of graphic cards...

You should buy a new board and get a Mobile barton 2500+ they run cooler and OC well, mine can oc from 1.8 default to 2.5 equalling a 3800+

Mobiles are really hard to find here.
And i will buy a new MOBO, ill fix this one for reselling later...
And for the GFX, this is the only one i cand afford.

Just got a ASUS a7n8x-x and a athlon XP 2600+ /FSB 333.
Ill do some tests later....
