PAre dni temu pisałem o moim problemie wieszającego się system na FSB 133,
Athlona 1.7 z płyta Abit KG7 i DDram. Wysłałem pytanie do AMD i o to jaką
odpowiedź otzrymałem.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your e-mail. I have to apologize for my late reply.
The motherboard that you use, is not on our list of recommended motherboards
for Athlon XP 1700+
(http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_182_869_4348^4
378|106_3_XP,00.html). AMD evaluates motherboards using an internally
developed suite of BIOS, electrical, and software tests. The motherboards on
this list have been tested to ensure compliance with motherboard design
guidelines for AMD processors. I would advise you to download the latest
BIOS version from your motherboard manufacturer web site (it might solve the
problem).
If the system is crashing at random, it's possible that this is caused by
hardware or software problems that become apparent when the system is
heavily loaded, such as:
-Overheating of the processor:
The maximum temperature the DIE (processor core) of your socketA Athlon can
deal with is 95C. As the temperature sensor is on the mainboard under the
CPU, you have to subtract 15-20C from this temperature. This means if the
case temperature is around 95C the temperature the BIOS is showing is
between 75 and 80C. If the CPU doesn't exceed 65-70C during the normal work,
there should be no problem. If your CPU is running at a higher temperature,
I would advise you to use one of AMDs recommended heatsinks.
You can find a list of them by using the following link:

-Insufficient power to the processor or graphics card:
The power needed for a modern processor is in the order of 75W, and that's
for the processor alone. Add to that hard disk(s), memory, graphics card (up
to 40W for the graphics card!), and some other minor components, and it's
easy to see why we recommend a minimum of 180W combined power for the latest
Athlon processors. The combined power is the amount of 3.3V and 5V power
than can be used at the same time, and the tricky thing here is that the MAX
power of the 5V or 3.3V on their own (added together) can be 50% higher than
the actual max combined power. The individual max power is therefore of not
much use in determining the suitability of a particular power-supply. You
can find a list of recommended power supplies by using the following link:
