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?
Simon

Is there a PCI:AGP:FSB ratio for you to play with?

I'm guessing that it might be set for a 100 FSB divider rather than a 133.
