| Hi I just built an Athlon X2 Anthlon X2 Processor Gigabyte m55SLI-S4 GEIL 2GB DDR2 800 RAM GeForce 7300GT Sonic 160GB Hitachi Digital RAM 450w PSU The thing works fine but on random reboots, i get garbaged display on boot up screen (pre-windows).. Normally i'd think this is a video card problem.. but here's the ANNOYING PART.. i've tried everything (im glad i have access to parts) and I cant seem to narrow down on the problem I tried to test each component on another rig.. RAMs, Video Card, Hard Drive, Processor, Motherboard, etc.. no problems! put them all back together, and i get the garbaged display randomly.. I tried replacing RMA'ng the motherboard... i tried replacing RMA'ng the Processor... i tried reboots without the hard drive... i still get garbage display randomly.. i tried a lot.. but to summarize.. i tried replacing the X2 processor with a regular Athlon AM2 3200 processor.. no more problems.. I tried replacing the motherboard with an ECS brand and testing it with the X2 processor, no more problems.. put the 2 (mobo+proc) together again.. garbage display problems I dont get it.. why wont it work right with the HIGH END gigabyte motherboard and X2 processor?? Are they not compatible? please help evaluate. |

| Hi Guys I've solved the problem but have resulted to a not-so-welcomed work around.. the X2 5000 processor runs at 200mhz with x13 multiplier by default.. i downclocked it step by step and ended up running it at x10 and it has stabilized.... what could've cost this? |
