Bios error?

[snusmumrik]

Hello.

 

I got a little problem with my bios/cmos.

 

I just layed new Arctic Silver on my cpu core(core? right word?) and updated my bios.

 

It worked fine but i didnt see any difference in cpu temperature. maybe when i clock ?

 

Problem is that when i start computer it starts with 133*11, it should start in 166*11. I only need to change in bios but thats boring after a while... and when i change it .. i can only change to User Define in SoftMenu III. I cant choose 2500+, or 3200+ with the new driver... why ?

 

Temp right now:

 

Around:

28/38 Idle

34/45 Playing

 

Comp:

 

Abit nf7 v2.0

Amd athlon 2500+ barton

twinmos 512 ddr winbond

 

thats the important things to know ?

 

-Thanx, Snusmumrik.

Sounds like your not saving changes before you exit BIOS, ... ?

Of course i save it

There are often a jumper on the mainboard, which decide CPU to run at 133MHz when pin 1 and 2 are together and CPU runs at 166-200 MHz when pin2 and 3 are together.

Just an idea.

Maybe the jumper who resets BIOS stands in wrong position!!

 

Check the manual

maybe the battery is dead, so the CMOS is cleared every time?

 

... just an idea ... I think you can check it out with AIDA32

Check the manual

Sounds right!

[snusmumrik]

not in wrong position.

How about the battery thing?

 

If not: try this:

- Enter BIOS

- Change some of the settings (eg. boot sequence)

- Save changes

- Restart your computer

- Enter BIOS

- Are the changes you made still there?

- If not: contact Abit

- If they are: contact Abit

 

Good luck!
