I purchased a MSI K7T266 Pro2 version 2.0 Socket A Motherboard DDR KT266. I had an AMD 1900 Palomino in another computer, so I know it is fine. I finally put everything together but I cannot access anything in the Hardware Monitor setup to change the CPU FSB from 100 to 133. The whole right side has nothing on it, i.e., arrows, up/down, etc.. And once I am in it, I have to reboot to get out of it; escape will not get me out of there. So now I am only running at 1200mhz with the 100mhz FSB. According to the manual "Monitor functions available only if there is harware monitor mechanism onboard". Whatever that means. But the specs on this board supports the AMD palomino 1900.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem. Same MoBo, AMD 1800 Palomino, can't reset FSB from 100 to 133 because the Hardware Monitor freezes when I try to access.
Thanks--

The funny thing is that one day it set itself automatically. The only thing I remember was playing around that Fuzzy logic program. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not.

I dug up an answer with some more searching. Problem is the power supply... with certain PSUs, apparently the voltage reads irregularly and causes hardware monitor to lock on that board. When I swapped in my old PSU, it worked and I was able to crank up to 133.
