Hello, My CPU has been running at 2.53ghz 533mhz for around 2 years with no Problems atall. The 1GB of Memory has been in for around a year and it has definately been working fine with it in. I believe that the CPU has gone down to 1.9ghz since I tried upgrading the motherboard on the Dell PC. After I had bought it I realised that the Motherboard would not fit because of the wrong connnectors (Dell use special connectors which do not appear on standard boards) So because of this I had to reinstall my old motherboard, on boot up it said that I had a 1.9ghz CPU, I put this down to a mistake that would correct itself but after 4 weeks I noticed that it hadn't changed back and so am worried about what to do. This is what CPUZ shows:
I know that this is the wrong FSB speed, I have tried changing it in BIOS but the CPU speed things are shown as grey and so I cannot get onto them. It is a Dell Machine and Im really confused. My RAM is 1GB of PC2100 (my motherboard only supports PC2100) I think that is all you need to know, oh yeah my motherboard is an Intel one:
D845EPT2
Thought I would post some pictures of the BIOS screeens:
Please can you help me out on how to change the speed back, thanks in advance, Alex

Sounds like there is something wrong the motherbaord and it is not setting the correct FSB. I dunno if Dell have completly locked down everything or if there is anyway of changing it.
