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

in the BIOS, try to set the following>> CPU: 1467, System/SDRAM Frequency: 133/133 that should do it. but if it doesnt let me know and we'll try something else. oh, when you exit the BIOS, make sure you are saving and exiting, not just exiting

Thanks for that but i only have a choice of 100:133 or 100:100, tried them both with 1467mhz and system would not boot up. Did a reset and it went automatically into bios where clock speed was set back to 1100mhz as speed was too high? With a save it went back into windows but still at 1100Mhz. Any ideas?

Thanks
