CPU
« on: January 01, 2010, 07:31:05 PM »
When computer is turned on the following message displays: CPU is unworkable or has been changed.  Please recheck - CPU SOFT MENU

Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP

If I select F1 Windows begins to load and then the system reboots and starts all over again.

If I select DEL to enter SETUP I get the CMOS SETUP UTILITY screen.  Highlighting and selecting the CPU SOFT MENU II brings up another screen that says: 

CPU Name Is:  Intel Pentium III MMX
CPU Operating Speed:  233(66)
CPU Power Supply:  CPU Default
<Core Voltage:  2.00v

I don't know what I should do at this point to correct the problem.  Can you help???

i had the same problem with my 300MHz computer running win 98. I got it from my cousins but they don't know how it did that either.
