I got information from the seller and he said I should upgrade the BIOS. I do so but I get the same bad results with the 2000 Mhz: not beep initial, blank screen, ...
Just in case it could be a problem of the CPU I decide to test it on the other computer (Motherboard: kinetic K7) and the 2000 Mhz Athlon works fine, so I guess the CPU is fine.
me thinks that board can't run that CPU, and the retailer is an idiot.
Finally I decide to let the computer like it was originally: with the AMD Duron 950 Mhz and claim to the seller about the 2000 Mhz AMD XP. I put the bus speed jumper again to 100/200, insert the AMD Duron 950 and boot the system, but when I try to get into linux (I have two distros there: Suse 8.0 and debian woody 3.0) it tries to check the HD with fsck and during the process it prompt me to run fsck manually. I do so and during the process of fixing some inodes I get an error message (apparently from the kernel on a specific page) and the system hang up.
what's the exact error? Did you perhaps compile the kernel with very specific CPU support that didn't include the CPU you were using?
I am performing now a "memtest" just in case but I am really lost about what to do.
Maybe is the motherboard the one have problems ?
without knowing the error, its damn near impossible to speculate.
