Hi,
Before your pc posts press the delete button.. then you should get into the bios..

Once your there go to your FSB settings and change it to 200FSB (should be 166fsb) ..also make sure your ram/cpu are running in sync (should be called "dram ratio") make sure it is set to 1:1 /3:3 or 6:6 which seems to be the most popular. once you have done that save your settings and let it re-boot.

Most xp2500s seem to be ok by just changing the FSB but some need slightly higher Vcore if found unstable after testing...so if yours need it i would raise it to 1.7v ..
(note : make sure your cpu cooler is up to the job..!!!)

There are many other BIOS settings that have to be tweaked besides FSB & vcore.

Read your manual!
