what bus speed are you running your CPU's FSB at?

i hardly no this "bus speed " and FSB" stuff. Just tell me where to find out and then i will tell you. Thnx

Yup it's an ECS board, I'm not surprised. You just need to get back in your bios, and set the processor back up. BTW, ECS boards are famous for doing this.

go into your BIOS and set the FSB to 133Mhz

im not kinda confident into going into bios . I dont even know where to go to change the fsb stuff and that. I need guides, thnx.

ok i went into bios, had 3 choices to change from:it was on 100/100mhz , 133/100mhz(or other way round i think) and 133/133mhz. the last was the right to choose from?

well, to benefit you STAC, i actually have a system built around that same MoBo for my youngest sister (7). ATM i'm getting ready to go to school, then work, but i'll take a peek into the BIOS and tell you what you need to change

STAC|Tom · Aug 15, 2005, 10:59 AM
