Hi guys
First Of all i want to thanks anyone that could give me a hand on this issue, my problem is: I bought an Amd FX-53 a few days ago from a friend, my board is a msi k8n neo2 platinum 54g, i installed the cpu normaly,booted my system normaly, everything was normal and quite fast, once i had everything checked out, i went to the bios to modify the multiplier of the cpu, but only the default one works (12x), i tried 10x,11x,13x and nothing, the computer didn`t boot, tried the recent 1.6 bios and the problem remains the same, everything else is working fine, can anyone help me out im desperate
I have no idea what else to do

btw my system is:
Msi k8n neo2 platinum
amd Fx53
1gb ocz pc4000 vx whit ddr booster
x800xt pe

i had a 3500+ winchester installed last week and the multip. worked fine

Thanks to all in advance

welcome to the XtremeSystems.org ! good to see ya here

Sorry i can't help you, I've never read any posts about the multipliers not being enabled and its never happened to me. I'm sure someone will offer a solution or suggestions. If you have already tried a different bios then that would be my only idea.

Hey thanks anyway dude.

I know, its a strange problem, i never heard of it myself!!! this is frustrating

[Nubius]

he scammed you with a non FX?

lol that's the only way I could figure the thing not liking anything besides stock multi, but you said you tried lower multis too =/

Hmm strange indeed

post a cpu-z screen shot, lets make sure it is what you think it is....http://www.majorgeeks.com/download425.html

then press print scrn then go to ms paint then save it as a .jpeg file and post it....

only telling you this incase you don't know

That is very odd. I had an FX-53 awhile ago, and the multi's worked fine on my Neo2 plat. Could it be he gave you a 3800+ thinking it was a 53? They both run at 2.4ghz.

after sleeping on it the only thing I could think of would be broken/bent pin(s) ?

[CometMan]

I can assure its a Fx53, i tried removing the cpu and installed it again, the result was the same, tonight i will post some screens of cpuz and other stuff

Thanks Guys for replying

[CometMan]

this is what i can do whit the multi. 12x there`s nothing more i can do, im sure i can take the mems a lot more but not whit this multi, and as you see is a fx53, i think there`s no doubt


cheers

Try a bios flash and CMOS clear.

Try altering multi in bios rather than windows.

It should work... cant think of many other reasons why it wouldnt.

[agenda2005]

In your BIOS did you have the lower multiplier locked?
Use the +/- bottons on your keyboard to change multiplier in BIOS rather than the top and down arrows to see that the multipliers are unlock upward and downward.

i tried diferent bios, resets a couple of times (jumper and removing the battery for a couple of minutes), i have the multipliers 4x.....to ...25x unlocked, i change to one of them, usually the nearest ones like 10x,11x,and 13x, i save the changes in bios, try to restart, and the system doesn`t boot, i have to reset bios to the system boot up in 12x multiplier, in windows i try to change in clockgen the system hangs
