Did I Fry My CPU ?



This is what happended I decided to upgrade my CPU Athlon 900MHz
to an Athlon 1333MHz and after installing the 1333 my mainboard A7V133
PCB1.05 displayed it as a 1200MHz. I tried changing the BIOS settings
to match the CPU specifications (FSB = 133, multiplier 10.x) then she
wouldn't POST.


I then proceeded to chech the jumpers (jumperless mode JEN enabled) on
the board and only changed the DSW switches all to OFF from previous
all ON positions. She then POSTS and boots into Win2K. After 5-10 mins
of running it immediately shut down. Only the green power light on the
front of the tower kept flashing ON/OFF immediately after shutdown.
Tried powering back up but NO POST all tower lights come one i.e CDROM,
Power, HD fans all running. Swapped CPU's back to the 900 and she POSTS
and runs fine into Win2K and continues to run fine.


Running same CoolerMaster as for the 900 and power supply is a brand
new Sparkle 350W. Have two HD's, 1 x CDROM, 1 x CDRW, 1 x removable
rack.


What happened ? Anyone tell me did I fry the CPU by not using correct
heatsink + fan for a 1333 (which i inderstand requires more power and
probably runs hotter). ?


Many thanks
