so your saying it is because its locked

If your 1.4 Athlon is anything like mine, it is already unlocked. Since it was the highest speed grade for that chip design, AMD saw no need to lock it. I also had a 1.33 that was unlocked.

i have mine set manually at 135 x10.5 and if i even try to change it to 136 x 10.5 it will not post
