Ok. This is my first post here so bare with me. I have an Asus P4T533 motherboard with 512mb of 1066 RAMbus ram. I had a P4 2.4 processor and all was well. Now I went and bought a P4 2.6 Hyper Threading processor and swapped the processors out on this same board. I had changed no settings when I did this, but for some reason, my Bios says I have to manually set the settings for the processor speed. Well, I can not seem to get the processor to run at the full 2.6ghz, but only around 2.0 stabley. If I change the core clock speed to 200 which would put the processor at 2.6, I get an error saying that the current mode does not support that configuration. If the clock speed is set between 190 and 199, the processor works fine for a bit, but I get blue screens with memory dumps and random errors, depending on what I was doing. Anything below 190, and all is well. Now the motherboard temp is usually around 105°F and the processor temp is around 96°F-101°F. I am not sure if that is too high, but I am thinking about getting a better heatsink and fan anyway. All I need to know is how I can get my CPU set to run at the full speed. My P4 2.4 was running just fine and my Bios showed it set to Auto. When I try and change the setting from Manual, I just get 2 speeds to choose from, 1200 somthing mhz and 1766mhz. Hopefully I am making sense. Please help if you can and if you need anything else, let me know. I am pretty computer Literate, but obviously do not know it all. Thank you.
