guys, if you know how let me know, today I woke up and my computer was freezed, I turned it off, and when I turned it on, it could not boot up, it gave me a strange sound, any way, I did lots of things to get it going, and the only thing that seemed to work was to clear the cmos, but, when i rebooted, the mothetboard is reading my cpu as a 750 mhz, and is an athlon 1000 mhz, I already changed the memory frequency, and the cpu clock, and nothing seems to work, heeeeeeeeeelp,

it works fine, its just reading the wrong cpu speed.

its a k7t266 pro, it uses ddr memory
 
Since you didn't mention the mobo type lets take a guess here. Usually on the same bios screen as the cpu/fsb/multiplier settings there could be a line titled something like "auto" or "user settings". You may have it set to auto and its reconfiguring itsself upon boot. Try setting this to "manual" (or something like that) We are always looking for new members at our computer forums: Please come join our community too.
 
Does sound like FSB and CPU settings.
I take it your 1gig Athlon is 266fsb?
So you should see 133/133 in your settings and not 100/133.
I think 750 is the processor default so it does seem a little strange that your motherboard isn't auto detecting the processor speed.
Can it be manually set? say 7.5 X 133. Martin Just trying to help, sometimes falling short, I am only human after all.
