I guess that many who give advice here, must get a bit ‘unenthused’ when the same question keeps repeating but I have looked at everything, that seemed related, in the 90 pages of 80 requests for help, c 7165 – taken days, and couldn’t find an answer specific enough to my problem, which is;
A second-hand Sempron 2400 on a Foxconn K7S741MG-6L, NOW reads as an Athlon XP 1500+ at 1.33Ghz.
From answers I read, it seems that the CPU frequency setting needs to be 166Mhz but this option is not NOW available, seems the options are greyed out.
DRAM appears alterable and I have tried it at different settings.
When I first installed this Board and CPU to regen an old machine I did take some screenshots that confirm CPU as Sempron 2400+
Also shows Current CPU freqncy 166
Also shows Current DRAM freqncy 200
Auto config Performance
DDR SDRAM CAS Latency AUTO
DDR Input terminate control OFF
TEMPS CPU core =1.6v
+3.3v =3.28
+5v =5.12
+12v =12.51
I can’t get back to that setting.
The CPU speed remembered as 1.67g
Tried;
Loading defaults
Moving CMOS jumper
Removing the battery ( not fitted a new one tho’)
Raising the temp control to 70c
Every variation of option in the BIOS that I can see.
Removing the power lead from the tower and holding the start button…don’t know where I heard that…
The only further step I can think of is to demount the CPU and remount but the spring on the htsnk/fan is so strong and the board feels fragile that I would prefer to leave alone if possible.
Can anyone guide me as to how to recover the original settings
