Changing CPU Frequency In Bios?

How do I change My CPU frequency through Bios. I'm running an Asus m2n68-am Plus, and i recently got a dual core, CPU, that the salesperson said was compatible. i put it in and now when i boot it blue screens, and tells me the frequency is too high and has to be adjusted to 1000mhz or something. I can only run my PC in safe mode at the present.Changing CPU Frequency In Bios?you can adjust it by working out what values are needed, you need to find what you can and can't change, the frequency of the cpu is the clock multiplier x the FSB or base frequency, for example a clock multiplier of 5 and a Front Side Bus (Or Base Clock) of 133mhz results in 655mhz. Just find out what values you can change so if the multiplier is locked at 6x or whatever change the FSB to get as close to the desired clock so 1000mhz/6x clock multiplier = 166mhz FSB needed.



Usually when you replace a CPU and this happens the best thing to do is reinstall windows, all sorts of weird things can happen when you change CPU's/MotherboardsChanging CPU Frequency In Bios?What you need to do is go into your bios settings and change the clock frequency to reflect the speed of your CPU. You can search the internet for the correct multiplier and clock frequency for your cpu and set it into your computer. Generally a motherboard by default should auto detect unless it was changed to manual. You can try loading your bios back to the default settings.



What generally happened was that you went to a different processor and the wrong set of drivers were pre-loaded into your computer. I have seen this before but never really tried to fix this. I just re-imaged/reinstall the operating system. What you can try doing is in safemode is removing the drivers in your device manager. Rightclick my computer and select manage. Select Device manager and expand processors tree. Delete everything in there and restart. If that doesn't work you'll have to reinstall your operating system.
