I don't know if will make a difference, but have you tried removing the
heatsink from the SiS 735 chip, removing the double-stick tape they use, and
re-attaching the heatsink with either double-stick thermal tape or with a
heatsink compound and superglue on the corners.? See
http://radel.inet.net.nz/chipset/
You shouldn't need to use Artic Silver, unless you plan to overclock.
Silicon thermal grease should be ok.

I've tried both slots. It should work at 133/133 but it will not. It
will run at 100/100 but the processor speed is only 1247mhz with those
settings.

What bothers me most is that the board has been used with PC2700
memory and a AMD XP 2400+ cpu and the AMD XP 2000+ cpu was used
on an identical board with DIMM PC133 memory and both set ups
worked just fine. Now that the two are combined, it won't run.
Today I tried DIMM PC133 after clearing the CMOS. I got the
same results, it won't run unless underclocked.

See if the board runs in async mode, i.e., 133 mem, 100 processor. If it
does, then the problem may be with the CPU and/or CPU HSF or the thermal
interface between them.

The power supply is 400 watt and all the voltages according to CMOS are:
Vcore = 1.744V
Vcc2.5V = 2.496V
Vcc3.3V = 3.376V
Vcc5V = 5.053V
12v = 13.240
SB3V = 3.456
SB5V = 5.080
This video card was used with this CPU and identical Board. |

This means nothing. You must measure with a multimeter. A 400w PSU means
nothing without amperages on individual rails. I repeat, try another PSU. |

I changed the video card from S3 2000 to an ATI radon. That did not
help. I tried a different power supply. The first attemp did nothing.
I changed the settings to 100/133 and it booted up and ran. I tried
133/133 and it booted up. I ran scan disk with no problem, It rebooted
and worked correctly. I tried running defrag and it locked up. It never
did boot up and run again at 133/133... |
