What does it mean when your motherboard refuses to remember your clock speed? I have an Abit BX6-2 with a PIII 600. Every time I turn it on, it is set at 300MHz, and gives me the message 'CPU unworkable or has been changed - please check CPU SOFT MENU, press F1 to continue blah blah.' I go into the BIOS and use these settings:
Ext. Clock (PCI) : 133(1/4)
Multiplier Factor: x6
AGPCLK/CPUCLK : 2/3
When I reboot, it is at the correct clockspeed, but still gives me the 'cpu unworkable' message, and seems to be very unstable. I could blow on this thing and it would crash. Sometimes it dosent even turn on. I try not to do anything that would require any strenuous activity, like accessing the hard drive
.
After a cold boot, its back to 300MHz, but still remembers the time and date, so its not the battery. Any idea what is going on here? Thanks
