  |  "System failed CPU test"?/CPU multiplier "System failed CPU test"? ok i get this error only when i start up a game or while im playing, it seems i only get it when the CPU is workin' hard, my computer is as follows... ASUS A7N8X DELUXE, Athlon XP 2600+(333 MHz FSB), WITH 512 KINGSTON DDR RAM, WIn2K + service packs, blah blah, sorry if i sound s0 excited i've posted this on like 4 different forums, including nforcers.com and amdforums.com, not one person can figure this out, but i updated those forums with this INFO asus sent me... here it is.. "system failed CPU test issue normally occurs during mistaken selection of CPU multiplier. If user have chosen the original CPU multiplier setting package, the BIOS should have no trouble detect the CPU and pass the POST. If the setting does not match the CPU's exact speed, the POST will see this setting as false"- Ok people heres the deal, i have the CPU multiplier on Auto, w/e that does... i dont wanna change the numbers untill i get some feedback b/c i dont kno much about the whole "CPU multiplier" overclocking thing,.... i dont need an overclocked beast i just want it 2 work right, and i noticed that the CPU External rate or something like that keeps setting its self back 2 100, i have no idea why, i have the lastest BIOS version from the ASUSUpdater, if anyone could give me a list of BIOS settings or suggestions, please people, i realy need help... |

| hmmm, so this happens when ur computer is working really hard? ok try to reduce the fsb a bit then try, it will make it more stable, if dat doesnt work, up the vcore, but make sure u have sumthin to cool ur cpu. hmm there should be no problems with the mulitplier, if neither those 2 things work lower the mulitplier a bit, and if that doesnt work u got a really gay athlon palamino or sumthin or ur running it too hard |
