Okay I'm an OC newbie and easily freak out. This seems major to me but hopefully it is not a big deal.

I had my 2100+ running very stable at 2220mhz and decided that I would put it back at stock settings in order to do some heavy burn ins. However, after changing it back to the stock settings I now get a freaky error msg at my Bios screen that says

"CPU is unworkable or has been changed". It lets me hit F1 to continue, Windows boots up fine, and my temperatures are still in the 30's but why in the hell is this here? No matter what changes I make to the FSB or multi it still starts up the computer at 100mhz fsb.

Can anyone please help me here.. I'm desperate!

try clearing cmos and then see if it still comes up

(if you have nforce 2, did you change the jumper to defalt to 100mhz each time?)

There's something called 'Speed Error Hold' in your BIOS. Is it disabled? I can't think of nothing else right now. Sorry.:frown:
