First of all you need to make sure you've got the latest bios (version R1.02).

If not, get it here

It is quite possible that your old mobo didn't support your chip. The Athlon XP2000+ would indeed have run at 1667 MHz (12.5*133MHz), but if the mobo did not recognise that latest range of Duron chips it would probably report an Athlon simply because of the frequency.

The only way to be sure is to look at the chip, but it is beginning to look as if you've been had.

Right iv got that and it's still doing it, what is your next tip/idea?

It still does it when i do things demanding of the PC (folding, playing games for long itmes) etc etc....


any ideas?

Tell us your voltages again. The original pic is missing.

I can still find no reference to a Duron 1.66GHz even on AMD's site.

Looking back, your Vcore was definitely too low, and if it is an Athlon chip as you originally thought it is MUCH too low. But once again we won't find out what you've got unless you actually look at the writing on the chip.

In any case, adjusting Vcore if available will either be in the Advanced Chipset Features section or the Frequency/Voltage section, but I suspect the latter is for information only.

I didnt install the chip, a guy at a shop did it for me, i will go into my BISO and have a look at all my Voltages and post back in about half an hour.

those readings are probably not very accurate, you should check in your BIOS and write down what they say...

Then you gotta remove the heatsync and look at the chip (computer has to be off obviously or youll fry the chip) you gotta write down the numbers on it, everything you can find, and post them. then to reapply the heatsync you will need some thermal paste, cant use the old stuff, so you will have to buy some if you dont already have.

Iv never done a CPU before like that. Is there any way to get around it?

no

Would i be able to tell from the chips colour what it is, so i dont have to take the heat sink off? Or something like that?
