Award BIOS Setup Utility
3.1.7.4 CPU Clock
This field provides several options for selecting the external system
bus clock of the CPU. The available options allow you to adjust the
CPU’s bus clock in 1MHz increment. The default setting is “100MHz”.
Important:
Overclocking may result in the processor’s or system’s instability
and is not guaranteed to provide better system performance.
If, in the “CPU Clock” or “CPU Clock Ratio” field, you selected an
option other than the default setting and is unable to boot up the
system, there are 2 methods of booting up the system and going
back to its default setting.
Method 1:
Clear the CMOS data by setting JP1 to 2-3 On. All fields in the
BIOS Setup will automatically be set to their default settings.
Method 2:
Press the <Insert> key and power button simultaneously, then
release the power button first. Keep-on pressing the <Inser t> key
until the power-on screen appears. This will allow the system to boot
according to the FSB of the processor. Now press the <Del> key
to enter the main menu of the BIOS. Select “Frequency/Voltage
Control” and set the “CPU Clock” or “CPU Clock Ratio” field to its
default setting or an appropriate bus clock or ratio.
Note:
Use a PS/2 or AT (requires a DIN to mini DIN adapter)
keyboard for method 2.
