Hello Everyone.
Im running into a little bit of an issue here that I am not sure of how to fix. Earlier this year I put a system together for a friend that has been running very smoothly up until now. When it boots, I get an error saying that "CPU changed, or overclock failed" or something to that effect. No one has been playing with the BIOS at all, and I have never had the machine overclocked. Here are its specs:
Epox EP-8RDA3+ Mobo, revision 2.x
AMD Athlox XP 2500+
Antec 300W smartpower power supply
2x256MB (512 total) of Crucial PC2100 DDR Ram
And all the other stuff that shouldnt really make a difference.
The machine will still boot and run, but it runs barebones with a FSB of 100 Mhz. The only thing I could think of is that the machine is on a surge protector that gets turned off each night, so there isnt constant power and that the battery would be going dead. However, the time doesnt ever reset itself, nor do any of the other BIOS settings.
Im stumped. Please offer any suggestions!!
Thanks!
