Before we get started, here are the PC specs: Asus A7v266-e Athlon XP1800+ 256Mb Crucial 2100 DDR Geforce4 440mx Intel 8255x NIC Advansys SCSI card Soundblaster Live Seagate 60G Quantum 20G Pioneer 4x CDR Pioneer 16x DVD Running Win2K Pro Ok its story time.... Being a typical male I like to pull things apart every now an again and put them back together... I do this to my PC every few months to clean dust out of HSF etc and until a few hours ago have had no problems doing so. Ok so I pulled my whole box apart, cleaned a few bits and pieces, reapplied thermal paste and put it all back together. Since this time I can only boot if my FSB is set @100Mhz, where as It has happily run at over 145 in the past. If I attempt to increase it to the normal 133 it will not post and there is no video signal output. The only thing that comes to mind (and yes I did kick myself) is that one of the CPU pins was slightly bent while it was removed. I corrected this and it fits in the socket fine. I was under the assumption that if this was going to cause a problem it wouldn' boot at all no matter what the FSB was set at, am I right in assuming this? Any one got any ideas cause I'm stumped?
