Problem for PC Chips M825G Motherboard
Problems with m825g
i have an m825g v9.2c motherboard. there are no jumpers to change the bus frequency on my board. recently i have acquired an amd athlon 2000+ from a relative. i reset the bios and put the heatsink on it.(i originally had an amd duron overclocked to 1.37ghz from 1.2). when i plugged it in and tried to turn it on, the fans spun a bit, but that was it. the system did not power on. there are no manuals that i can find. all the manuals for the straight m825g v9.2a all have the jumpers on them. i cannot find this board on the pcchips website except for in the old news archives saying that it is a hardwired board(which it isn't) socket 462, 333mhz, ddr. has a 450watt ps. 768mb ram, 1x320gb, 1x30gb, 1x10gb hdds. lg supermultidrive. has a floppy drive. i have not tried to put the duron back in and reboot, flash the bios etc.

- i have not yet reinstalled the duron, but i am sure it will work fine. umm. i found the jumpers. they are hardwired and they controll the clk speed(what it said on board) it is set to 100mhz right now but also has options for 133 and 166mhz. i will have to unsolder and then resolder them to get the new jumper settings. the athlon uses a 133mhz speed(said so in the spec sheet) while the duron uses(duh) 100mhz.i can post pics if you would like.May 22, 2008
- i put the duron back in, and as expected, it worked fine. i will try to tackle the jumper issue on the weekend when i have more time. thaks for the advice, but you ar right, it was redundant. when i do it i will make sure i can adjust the jumpers without having to solder again. i'll just get jumpers off an old mb and put them in the place of the hardwired jumpers. let you know on sunday or saturday.Jun 09, 2008
- i haven't actually tried it yet, but since the processors don't work, i guess they aren't compatible(even though the site says that the one is for sure compatible)Jun 09, 2008
- i haven't tried it yet. but even though the site says that it can work, it doesn't! i don't know why, but it doesn't.Clarification Request

Hello,
No need to post pics on your board. I understand exactly what you are facing.
This is your board and if you want to hard solder the jumpers feel free to experiment. However, keep this in mind, there are times that the jumpers aren't available for some other reason such as the board failing QA under higher front side bus speeds. Still, don't let that stop you as there are more reasons to remove the jumpers that are intended to keep you from over clocking and your board dates back to the days when Athlon and Intel did NOT want end users to over clock.
I DO want to know how you succeed at this as I am routing for you to succeed at this.
If you haven't started yet, I would only underscore the obvious, so my apologies in advance, use a low wattage soldering iron and a vacuum solder extractor (cheap parts at any Radio Shack) and ground your motherboard with clips out to a known to be grounded power outlet. Keep yourself grounded and work on a piece of cardboard. As I said, don't be offended if this seems redundant to you, others may be reading this out of interest and these procedures may be old hat to you but new to others.
The specs on the rest of your machine sound more than adequate to run not only a Socket A but drive a newer generation board as well, including PCIe vga cards as long as you have the supplemental power plug off your PS which I have no doubt you do.
So, if you would, keep me posted with your progress as I'm routing for you.
Regards,
Worldvet

Did I read your post wrong or have you reinstalled the Duron and booted up okay?

Same Problem
Aug 09, 2008
- I have a p4 titan series motherboard supports intel pentium 4 processorModel name: GA-8SDX
SIS 645 + 961 AGPSET
Socket 478 CPU
My problem is it gives the following error when I start it up and goes no further than the error,
Award bios bootblock v1.0
please insert system disk and press enter.
My second problem is I want to flash my bios to see if that would help but my motherboard doesnt have any jumpers? what am i to do?
I even took the battery out for 55 min but that didn't help either.
I downloaded tons of system disks and non of them worked either.
it just gives me invalid system disk, put in a system disk and press enter.
Please help me because it would spare me thousands of bucks to replace
my motherboard.
Help urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STOP!! Don't do it!
The M825G uses the KM266 Pro and , if the BIOS is correct, auto detect the CPU and its speed. That BIOS has a built-in OC utility, and that is why the jumpers are disabled.
The odds are you have an incompatible core. Just because the CPU fits the socket, doesn't mean it can work with the MB/chipset.
Check this link for that MB just to make sure.
