  • AMD 2000+ won't start when set to 133Mhz

    Hallo!
    I installed today a new processor cooler for AMD. My CPU is AMD
    Palomino 2000+ and it was working well with the old cooler but it was
    too noisy and sometimes the temperature went over 70 C. Now after I
    turned on my PC I got only black screen, the system was not starting
    up. After 2 restarts it showed sings of life but than I noticed that
    the Bios settings were changed. Namely the CPU frequency was set to
    100Mhz and now the Bios reads my processor as AMD 1500+. Went again in
    the Bios and set the frequency to 133 but it wont start again, the same
    happens when I load optimized or fail-safe defaults. Althought it works
    fine as it is now and the temperature is below 50 C I wonder what have
    I done wrong. How come the processor wont start after a regular cooler
    change?
    Thank you!

    Are you sure heatsink has been put on right?

    That CPU is a bare die, subject to cracking (being destroyed) when
    mounting a new HSF.

    What make/model cooler did you install and what kind of thermal interface
    material does it have? Did the old cooler come off easily and did you make
    sure the original plasticky phase change material -- on retail CPUs at
    least -- was cleaned off the CPU surface before installing the new? I
    think you're going to have to take that new cooler off to check the CPU for
    heatsink seating and/or damage.
