The Checksum Error typical means your CMOS battery is dead. Replace it.

-------------------------

i tried with a Duron 1500+ lended to me, and guess what, it works normally as it should, so i guess its my CPU went kaputt.

Possibly, but did you try the windows recovery console to be sure it wasn't a problem with windows?

like I said before XP didn't run, and with this processor it did .

Yes but it's a different CPU which probably has a different core. Just try potting in the one that causes the freeze during boot up and use the recovery consoles chkdsk command.

CaysE's advice bears repeating - it's a free five-minute job if you have a spare known good board around, and it might be causing the problem.

Sounds like the RAM though, although I don't know why it would work with the Duron...

your fsb on that chip is 133,in real life it runs at 266 but it has to be set at 133,it more than likely wont boot at where you had it. ed

If he decreased it from 333 then the speeds it registers are like the speeds with DDR factored in. I doubt it would go to 333 (DDR666! on an older board - you rarely see more than perhaps 250.
