By changing the jumper settings AFTER installing the O/S you may have
confused your computer. Have you tried reloading ME?

> All installed perfectly, went into bios, still no problems. I rebooted to
install Win ME, I noticed the system was reading the processor as 11
> 50mhz instead od 1530mhz. I decided to continue loading Win ME and on
completion, reset the JCK1 jumper(cpu host clock)from 100mhz to 133mhz. I
did this, then went back into bios to verify the settings and 3/4's through
the system froze. Sometimes I make it all the way through the bios, then
save changes/exit, when it reboots, it freezes (I'm not 100% sure, after
checking memory). The following is what I have tried: Pulled the mb battery
to clear cmos, cleared cmos with the JBAT1 jumper, checked
everything,ribbons plugs, power,cards, all components, removed the new ram
and tested with my own, removed everything (except cpu fron mb) and checked
under mb for possible short, reinstalled all except sound card and addl usb,
double checked everything is seated properly. Still the same problem. I
don't understand, I originally went through bios, installed Win ME without a
glitch, and to my knowledge, all I did after that was change the JCK1
jumper.

hope you can help. Thank You
