Comment:
I canīt change the FSB default settings from 100Mhz to 133Mhz in BIOS, the system crashes already at 104Mhz. I have flashed the BIOS with the latest version. The MoBo is a MSI KT3ULTRA26380E. I have just built the system, is there something iīve missed? a jumper or something, Iīll be greatful for any help to solve my problem.

I have the same problem, but the max i can set the fsb to is 115mhz, i don't know why. Whe i change it in the bios the computer won't boot up n i have to reset the CMOS, if i change it in fuzzy logic 4 it just gives me the blue sceen! I need help. My AMD Athlon XP 2000+ is only running at 1.25 instead of 1.66!

boken - if you have a high-end video card like a GF4 TI then a 350W PSU is pushing it. What speed is your RAM rated for? is it PC2100 or PC2700? Also, what are the voltages like in the BIOS (+3.3V, +5V & +12V DC)
pricey - I would rule out the RAM from being the problem in your system as it's rated for 166 MHz. What wattage is your PSU?

Your voltages are well within acceptable levels so I don't think the PSU is the problem. Do you have any other DDR RAM that you could use to test on this system or access to another system that you could test that RAM on? If you don't you could test the RAM at 133 MHz FSB with Memtest86.
