Hi!
I have this PC that is kinda old.
It has a nvidia chipset.
Everything was fine untill something gone wrong with the AC and lost CMOS.
Now it has only a clock of 1.24 GHz when before it had over 2GHz.
Why the hell this happened?
Sorry, but I can't get any information about the CPU, there is no number after Athlon, like 2100+ or 3000+!
Motherboard: K7N2 Delta-L
The only name is AMD Athlon XP.
Hi again, I post this to everyone to know that there could be such thing.
The CPU was AthlonXP 2800+ @ 2.1 GHz
I finnaly got it back, after... omg 7 months?
Anyway, I fixed it in one day by just thinking why it isn't working.
Ok, first I will mention one thing - the model number changed many times
It has a mind of his own (well yeah, it's a CPU).
The problem was manual, not electronical - a jumper needed to be changed.
Somehow, dunno how, a jumper that makes FSB freq to 100 MHz was set on, all I needed to do is change the mode from Safe mode to user default mode, that allows FSB over 100 MHz, also 166 MHz and 200 MHz.
For me, it was located right next to WINBOND chip, near the LAN adapter.
So, to everyone, read the manual
