urgent! 8k9a2+, pc2100 memory or new pc3200 memory C1 code, dont know how to reset

[arosene]

I got new pc3200 memory in today popped it in and booted up fine. it changed memory timings to fastest since its 2.5 cas and set cpu clock to 140 and ddr ram type to DDR400. after doing all that everytime the machine boots with memory in it i get C1 boot code and beeps and i've tried simply powering up and down and moving 1-2 pin to 2-3 pin on cmos but it doesn't help. i dont know what to do !!!!!!!!! please help

one time my video card was unseated correctly. if it damaged my video card would i be getting c1 boot codes ?

would i be getting the memory code C1 /w beeps if cpu was fried ?

try holding insert and press reset

still no good. i have to assume the xp palomino was fried with the slight overclock and my ram settings. heatsink with computer on at the bottom is not very hot. i thought i may have smelt something burning.

You need to reset/clear your bios, then reboot and enter bios, load optimized defaults, save and exit bios...........next time you enter bios, you need to set memory at 100% of fsb or sync, do not run memory at SPD setting, that what is probably giving you c C1 error.

how could it be fried with such a light overclock. i havn't heard of an athlon burning on any modern chipsets. is there a way to force the board to 100fsb? pull the power cord, remove the battery for 30 minutes and then clear the cmos. also remove any non-essential devices. reseating the cpu could also help.

the motherboard is good but unlike the 8k3a+ it has issues with electricity in this house. i can do insert-power, reset-power, unplug-switch cmos jumper for 20 seconds, even tried taking out the battery and unplugging PSU for 1 hour. still wont get the computer in a state where it will power on again. take it over to a friends house that has a UPS, plug it in, reset cmos, then it works fine ! my 8k3a+ had no difficulty clearing cmos, even here at home.

and why i can only achieve a light overclock before it locking up is beyond me. perhaps its because i have a 333 Barton and it wants to lock fsb into 333 range ? 170fsb and it locks up. either i'm doing something wrong or ?
