Award BIOS Setup Utility
CPU Ratio
This field is used to select the CPUs frequency ratio.
Important:
The frequency ratio of some processors may have been
locked by the manufacturer. If you are using this kind of
processor, setting an extended ratio for the processor will
have no effect. The system will instead use its factory
default ratio.
The frequency ratio of processors greater than 8x has been
locked by the manufacturer and will no longer have the
flexibility of using extended ratios. Therefore, the system will
use the processors factory default ratio.
If, in the CPU Clock or CPU 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 JP4 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 <Insert> 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 Ratio field to its default
setting or an appropriate bus clock.
Note:
Use a PS/2 or AT (requires a DIN to mini DIN adapter)
keyboard for method 2.
