Dostałem jeszcze na zagranicznej
grupie dyskusyjnej odpowiedź, w której
sugerowany jest problem z kondensatorami
na płycie głównej.

All nForce2 boards I have seen that have done this (I have several) have
capacitors that have gone out-of-spec. This stops that board from running at
higher FSB speeds. I would bet that it's the same in your case. You may be
able to see swollen or leaky capacitors but sometimes they don't show any
visual signs that anything is wrong.

IME it's often the slightly smaller capacitors near the RAM slots that cause
this particular fault, although if they've started failing then all caps
will probably need replacing.

If you're handy with a soldering iron and can source the parts
(www.badcaps.com is one source) then you may be able to fix it yourself.
Only you can decide if the system is valuable enough to warrant paying
someone else to do it for you as opposed to using it at the slower speed. Be
aware though that, if it *is* indeed caps, there's a chance that it'll stop
working at 133Mhz sometime in the future.

I have an Force 2 Ultra 400 board that used to run at 200Mhz FSB but, about
18 months ago, did what yours is doing now. Now it's running at 166Mhz and
passes all tests and has been running fine since. However, it has a T'bred B
CPU in it which has an unlocked mutilper so I just increased the multi and
it's still running at (faster than) rated speed. Also, it's my second
machine so doesn't get used much, I don't know if it would still be going at
166 if it was on 24/7 like the one I replaced the caps on.
