if you can not get into the BIOS..you are kind of messed up there...sounds
like it is running at less than the 200 it needs...the setup should be 200x11...all you could maybe do is reset the CMOS and see what happens...or contact who you bought it from and tell them to fix it...it is not as advertised...personnally..I'd do the latter. |

The Athlon 64 has a feature called Cool and Quiet which allows the clock speed to be reduced when the CPU is lightly loaded, the clock is scalable between 800MHz and 2GHz on your part. |

Actually it's supposed to be a 10x cpu. But I think cool'n'quiet should set it to 5x, not 4x, so if I'm right it should read 1000 not 800 when idling. I tried mine at 4x and it crashed. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.
