Award BIOS Setup Utility

3.1.7.4 CPU Clock

This field provides several options for selecting the external system bus clock of the CPU. The available options allow you to adjust the CPU’s bus clock in 1MHz increment. The default setting is “100MHz”.

Important:

Overclocking may result in the processor’s or system’s instability and is not guaranteed to provide better system performance.

If, in the “CPU Clock” or “CPU Clock Ratio” field, you selected an option other than the default setting and is unable to boot up the system, there are 2 methods of booting up the system and going back to its default setting.

Method 1:

Clear the CMOS data by setting JP1 to 2-3 On. All fields in the BIOS Setup will automatically be set to their default settings.

Method 2:

Press the <Insert> key and power button simultaneously, then release the power button first. Keep-on pressing the <Insert> key until the power-on screen appears.This will allow the system to boot according to the FSB of the processor Now press the <Del> key to enter the main menu of the BIOS. Select “Frequency/Voltage Control” and set the “CPU Clock” or “CPU Clock Ratio” field to its default setting or an appropriate bus clock or ratio.

Note:

Use a PS/2 or AT (requires a DIN to mini DIN adapter) keyboard for method 2.
