Multiplier went from 10 to 7.5 on its own. Why would that happen?

I recently built an AMD rig for a friedn of mine, he's running a 1.0 Ghz 266 FSB retail CPU on a ECS K7S5A and it worked fine till recently.
A few days ago while booting up he realized that his clock speed was showing up as 750Mhz. I went into the bios and found that the multiplier had somehow gone to 7.5. It is an AMI bios and does not offer me the option to change the multiplier. I was thinking of flashing the bios, but right now we're having finals so he doesn't want to mess with the machine until he gets his work done. I was wondering if any of you guys knew why this would happen.

 
Well, if it's a 266 chip the multiplier should be 7.5...(7.5x133=1000) it must be at 200 bus speed now...dunno why, but change the bus to 133 (assuming the BIOS lets you) and
it'll be right. 🙂
