Hi
I am pulling what is left of my hair out at the moment. I stupidly reset the bios on my Athlon 1700+. I now cant seem to set it up so that it gives me the usual speed of 1.4mhz , it seems to want to run at 1.1mhz.
I am using an a7v266-E mainboard, bios version 1015, the multiplier is X11 and the bus speed seems to be 100.9, rated bus speed is201.8mhz.
I have tried all the combinations for settings in the following fields to no avail....
CPU speed(I have a choice of manual , 1100 or 1467)
CPU system frequency multiple (set at X11 which i think is right
System/pciFrequencyi have a range starting from 100/33 to227/57 (tried various settings here but always forces me back to 1100mhz
System/sdram frequency ratio it is set to auto but i also have achoice of100:100 or 100:133
I have used cpuid and it tells me that the memory frequency is 134.3Mhz (FSB + 33Mhz ) Not sure what this means but it may point to a solution.
I have read elsewhere on the site that i may also need a new battery ( not replaced at all since new a long time ago!
I would appreciate some help as my wife is getting fed up vacuuming the carpet!
Idiot free instructions on which settings to change would be great and a pointer for saving and restoring/reviewing settings would be good.
Many thanks in anticipation
