I've got an Asus A7M266 and a Athlon XP 1500+ with 256 DDR. I got it all set up fine and when i hit the power button for the first time the monitor came on and the system went into the bios screen. I set every up as normal, system bus etc... and then it restarted. The info screen says i have an Athlon H-series rather than an XP. Whats going on?? If i let the system boot up it hangs after it's found all the IDE and pci devices. Does the same thing every time. I know the cpu is fine as i've tried it on a friends pc and it works ok.

I have seen posts before with people running 2000+ and higher on it. Does it need a bios update?? If so will i have to get hold of an older Athlon to flash it as it won't boot??
