Is the stock vcore for a 2800+ 1.65v or 1.6v? if so thats undervolting a little, might be that but I doubt it...might be worth setting it to 1.7v to be sure though.

All the PSU voltages look fine though but the 12v rail is very high which is unusual - shouldn't be the cause of the problem though.
 
do i have to open the psu to change the vcore voltage to 1.7 and btw tnx for help this driving me bloddy mad ive spent dayds on this ill maybee end up just taking the jumpers out and run it at 2200 at 133mhz
 
nah you dont have to open the psu, thatd be quite dangerous....go into the BIOS and set the vcore there.
 
been in there could find anything for changing it only the system hardware monitor which only allows me to see the running voltages and the temps but none are highlighted to let me change
 
Damn. Im out of ideas if your motherboard can't set the vcore...it might not even be the vcore running a bit low causing the problems you know..

there is a way of hard modding a socket a processor to a select vcore by using conductive pencil / paste, can't remember which exactly but it can be done though it risks killing the processor if you joined wrong bridges.
 
yeah gh wouldnt know how so wouldnt even try ive realy down to 3 choices get it all runnin and leave on 24/7 or have the pain of havin to watch it boot up and if its showing 2800xp goin to bios reset then do 2 boots or 3 take jumpers out and just run it 2200 xp at 133mhz oh there is option four....... a bloddy big hammer and get one last piece of fun

hi guys hows about this then. if i switch on machine from cold it always shows the procc being an xp 1250. if i continue to let windows load and run for about 2 or 3 mis and do start \shutdown\ restart it will reboot as xp 2800 if i then switch off for 3 or 4 mins it will again boot up as xp 1250. ive done this test about 10 times and every time i get the same result every time its cold =1250 every time its warm=2800 . this tells me the system will only work at 2800 if the system is warm or is it just coincedence??????. so anyone got any ideas what part it might be that needs to warm to make it all work. i didnt think it was the power supply as would probably take more than a couple of mins to cool down. the procc sounds the most likely culprit but whats the thought out there.

sounds like something is on the way out! out of the MB or the psu id say the psu but then again its just a guess! has any of your mates got an old athlon a system tucked away somewhere that you could borrow the psu out of
