CPU Tech Question

It is probably a slight flaw in your bios cmos. You could do 1 of three things or just leave it since it is not critical. 1- Rma the mobo. 2 Flash the bios and hope it goes away. 3 Get Asus to send you a new bios. (they will likely want you to pay)
At any rate, download a copy of sisoft sandra to make sure you are running at the right speed.

Clear your CMOS. That will take of it.

Well, I didn't think that was gonna happen!!!

I have the same processor and motherboard that you have. The jibberish went away when I updated the BIOS.

EDITED: Incorrectly stated that problem was fixed after running Windows Update.

Get the latest BIOS version for that mobo. Otherwise just tell your friends that you have a prototype AMD chip ;-)

Barton 2500+ @ 2200mhz (10x220 vcore @ 1.8)
Asus A7N8X Dlx 440 FSB
1gb Geil GD pc3500 Dual Channel (2-3-3-6)
Segata 80gb SATA 8.5ms seek
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro(420/720)

Yes do what RCPILOT said to do clear the CMOS chip then also download a program called AIDA32, it is free and full version later at the desktop you can see what it reports for your CPU, and any other hardware device you have. Just to make sure everything is as it should be.
