Q: ok, this is the deal, I have an Antec case, and I took everything that moved, and basically all about. It does not boot . I was pissed for a while . So I decided to sit on its side, as opposed to upright as its supposed to be . and it boots . wonder . anyone know whats up w / this?
skip to the end . Although I have not checked to see if it upright / on its side thing is solved .
Re:His XP1900+ is broken! Time to replace it.
Re:When you moved the parts from your old case did you remove all your components from the motherboard such as the cpu and memory or did you leave them installed ?
Are you still able to get your system to run/boot at 100fsb ?
Re:is there a dip switch thats set to 100 instead of default???
Re:i tried just the video, ram, and the cpu outside the case, and it still wont run at 133….arggg
that sledgehammer is sounding mighty fine…
Re:Have you tried taking a 14lb sledgehammer and giving it a good olde swing ?
I have one you can borrow 
hehe
Ok personally what I would do is strip the whole thing down and start from afresh , only installing the basics such as cpu, vid and memory and go from there.
Also give the manual a good read and check through your bios and set everything to default.
Re:i tried the fail-safe,. and optimized settings…nothing…getting a blue screen now kmode exception not handled…
Re:Not knowing your motherboard I can't really say but check to see if you have to change any ram speed settings or timings , also try default settings and see if your able to boot.
Re:what would some options that would prevent me from running at 133?
Re:At first glance I would say that you have a 100fsb cpu but after looking at your pc specs we can forget that idea especially as all you have done if moved everything out of one case and placed it in another .
I would check in your bios when your able to boot at 100 if there are any settings that may impede your ability to run at 133.
Re:alrite, this is weird…i knocked my fsb down to 100, as opposed to 133…and its running fine….no matter how high the temps go…it wont lockup, whereas if i put it back to 133, it wont even boot….ideas anyone??

Re:i reseated everything, and tightened it to make sure…and i checked for any lingering screws and still…it is doing this freezing up thing….argggg im gonna check again
Re:yeah, either it's getting shorted out by a loose screw, or something is not seated right.
Re:Sounds like a loose plug somewhere.
Re:thanx for the advice, im gonna check it out and rescrew everything….
Re:Is the mobo screwed down tightly? Possibly shorting out in the upright position?
Either that guy or he has possibly something not seated correctly such as cpu , video card ,etc .
