amc11890 Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 Here are my specs: 384 mb of ram 120gb hd AMD athlon xp 1800 Fic Am37 motherboard In attmept to overclock my pc i cleared the cmos and then booted up my pc but when i started it up the speed was clocked at 1151mhz from 1553mhz. The bus speed changed from 266 mhz to 200mhz. Can anyone tell me how to get the bus speed back to its normal speed?/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdf216 Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 just change your FSB from 200 to 266. To do that enter the BIOS and looks for the Clock settings, change it to 266 or even better an Auto setting if your BIOS has one. then save settings and reboot. One clue, next time don't reset CMOS unless it's a last resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted December 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 i cant in the bios...its blocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 you mean password protected? you can google for the manufacturer of the bios and possibly the board type and you should be able to find the skeleton password for it.

amc11890 Posted December 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 nope no luck.. i tried clearing the password by resetting one of the jumper setting and i went in to bios and set my own password but i am still unable to change fsb speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curveball1221 Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 check you motherboard manual for a jumper on the board that controlls the FSB. Sometimes you can change the speed setting by phisically moving a jumper on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted December 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 yeah there is a jumper and my pc was underclocked because i switched the jumper to a lower FSB but when i switch the jumper back to where it was the fsb stays the same.

resopalrabotnick Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 well, on the bright side, you are running at 75 percent of clock speed. lose the fan and enjoy the silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 amc on most amd mobo there is a jumber on the board for the fsb. i know there is on all of mine look in your manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted December 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 Okay what first started my pc to underclock was when i switched the jumpers from 1 to 2- to 2 to 3 for the fsb, which i was expecting that because i new the fsb would decrease as well as the clock speed but then when i tried switching the jumpers back its still stayed the same as it was before.

cdf216 Posted December 22, 2005 CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 OK let's go step by step; Enter your BIOS, choose Advanced Chipset Features, then CPU & PCI Bus Control, then CPU Host/AGP/PCI Clock and set to Default, also set Auto Detect PCI/DIMM Clk to Enabled.
