here are the specs of my processor

ATHLON XP 2400+ THOUROUGHBRED SOCKET A (266Mhz BUS) WITH QUANTISPEED
ARCHITECTURE OPERATING AT 2.0GHZ OEM

MotherBoard

SY-K7VME

According to soyousa.com they said that if your cpu's Front Side Bus
is 266Mhz then set the motherboard jumpers to 133Mhz.

What I did was set the frequency stepping in bios for the default
jumper on my Mother board from 100(default) to 132(highest possible
for that jumper).

Being that i set the default jumper from 100mhz to 132mhz(witch was
lower than what soyo said to set the Mhz to) How could this of
possibly broke my motherboard.

By the way after I set my fsb in the frequency stepping I saved and
exited bios. The computer rebooted and when it was at the post where
it checks the ram in the begging it did show an improvement of the
cpu's speed from athlon xp 1600+ to 2000+. Then it gave me some
strange error message. The only thing i think the message may have
had in it was the word keyboard maybe? so i checked the keyboard plug
and it was fine, rebooted and no video from there on then.

I have tried resetting the CMOS, taking the m/b battery out, using a
new power supply, new monitor and video card, and using the error
post code pci tool. the only number i got out of that were D3, D7,
and D8. on startup i get absolutly no beep or anything but hearing
the post reseting over and over until i shut it off.

reseat the cpu, change ram

Running at 132 FSB will put your PCI and IDE bus out of spec. Setting it to
100 or 133 will put it back in spec. Between 100-132 and also between 133
and 165(on boards that support it) the PCI and IDE are at a ratio or
divider.So if you use the PCI divider 1/3 for 100-132 then you get 132/3 on
the PCI bus which is 44mhz. PCI devices don't like it.Normal is 33mhz.
Setting the FSB to 133 sets a new FSB ratio of 1/4 for the rest of the
system.
