You really need to supply as much info about your system as possible. I've had a similar problem with my setup recently. In the end I tweaked around with jumper settings to make it boot then its just trial and error. Most probable solution is your running the FSB at 166 instead of 133, so set the speed to 133 first and see if that works...

I am having the same problem. I think I set the FSB at the 166. If I cant boot up to get into the bios and reseting the CMOS with the jumper doesnt seem to work , How then can I change back to the 133 FSB?

If reseting the CMOS doesn't help, I don't think it's the FSB because that would reset it to default.

There should be a jumper on the board (well on mine there is) which you can change (i.e. pins 1,2 and 3) read your manual on the exact settings. The 3 speeds are 100, 133 and 166. 100 is too slow for comps these days and 166 is restricted to super dooper systems so try the 133 settings first. on mine its jumper 3 - pins1&2. As I said earlier consult your manual though for FSB jumper settings on your board... :-) GL

Ok,

I took out the motherboard, and reseated it in the case last night, incase something was shorting. put video and ram back in and got it to start up. (get into bios).

Then i turned off, put in my harddrive to try and bootup.
It wouldn't boot past the windows xp loading screen. It would flash a blue screen with writing on it, too fast to read tho.
I tried mucking round with several settings in the bios, nothing worked.

So i turned it off, tryed changing fsb to 100. (it was on 133). then when i turned it back on, nothing worked again. now i am back where i started with no video, etc.
but i get a beep about 3 secs long, that keeps repeating itself.

I have since tryed resseting cmos, and a whole lot more, still cant get any display.

I think it is either My video card, or my ram.

I am running 2700, 333mhz ram. 1x 512meg stick.

Make sure the memory is clicked into position and you hear it actually "click" into the slot. The memory sounds fine.

You may have a motherboard fault too (let's hope you havent though...) Hope you didn't short it!

on some boards certain memory speeds can only go in certain slots. try moving the memory to a different slot. you may want to try a different stick of memory, or a different video card.

good luck
