So I got a new 2800+ (2.0). My first motherboard told me it was a 1900+ (1.2). Come to find out my motherboard was not compatible with a higher FSB speed and would not cooperated with my new cpu. I got a new motherboard and switch my CPU clock from 133 to 200 and now my monitor won't turn on. It acts like it's going through the startup but doesn't. My harddrive light stays on like it's working and doesn't turn off. It checks my disk drives too. My monitor just doesn't switch on and I can't see anything to reverse my settings.

My RAM is Kingston DDR333

My motherboard is Epox via kt880

1/ Clear the CMOS

2/Set the speed to 166.

How do I clear the CMOS? remember, my monitor won't work.

There is jumper on your motherboard that is used to clear your cmos.

Unplug the power and then move the jumper to the reset position for 30 seconds or so, then put it back into the original location.

Then plug in a boot up as normal

The details should be in your motherboard manual

if you don't know what jumper to close, then pull the mobo battery for 1 minute!
