please help..
I took it upon myself (stupidly) to update my bios. I have an MSI board, and used the flash utility. (through dos).
I booted it up, and flashed the bios....It went successfully.....It told me to that if if doesn;t boot properly, clear your CMOS settings then reboot ?????
as i rebooted, it said update OK, but CMOS wrong (or something like that...so I went into my bios setup, but there was no option to clear this????
anyway, I rebooted....and my screen just goes blank....nothing showing.....the computer is on but no bootup info at all...
so I panick......I turn the computer off, power cable out etc.....I turn it on....and it boots up and into windows i go....phew!!!
But now, for some reason, it thinks my CPU is an athlon 1250 XP!!! I have a 2600 XP processor.
WHAT IS THIS???
How do I sort this out without screwing my motherboard please? Is it because my settings have been changed in the bios?????
much appreciated
thanks
