I have often used PC Chips 810LMR boards with Duron 1300 chips to build
simple cheap and stable machines. Never a problem.
The manufacturer says these boards support 1800 chips (and higher) but I
have had nothing but trouble. Sometimes they boot fine but quite often the
fans start and everything seems great but they don't get to the POST screen.
I have toswitch off at the mains and try again.
The boards and chips were bought bundled together so you would expect them
to work with a degree of stability

Anyone else come across this and is there a cure?
 
What speed is you RAM? If it is PC100 and you changed the MB to 133 then it
is highly likely it will not work. You can run the XP1800 at 100 FSB with
reduced performance.
