Um...I changed something in bios in hopes to make my processor speed 1.3mhz instead of 1.1mhz. Whatever I changed made it now say 1.0mhz. When I got the system, it showed 1333mhz, and I just got a new motherboard and after I had it installed the cpu was showing as 1.1mhz. Help! Or Im gunna be in trouble.

"Or there be blood, and pain!"
LOL!! Gimme more specs!! Yum!!
Go into your bios. You need to change the FSB (front side bus) setting to 133 instead of 100.
Being that Im very impatient, I thought that maybe I could change something pertaining to FSB all by myself instead of waiting for any replies to my questions about stuff that I know absolutely nothing about. Long story short... Leaving out that Im a dummy! Yes I admit it.
Anyhoo. I changed something else in BIOS. Something that said a number like 3 with a 'V' beside it. There was also a number that was from like 100 to 130 and I changed it to 120 or something of the sort. pressed save changes. Puter rebooted. Black screen. Nothing. No windows. No Nothing. It wont turn on!
And now Im on a 226mhz or something like that. The turtle is a better name for it.
Did I learn a lesson? Of Course 'Not'.
Um is it broke forever. If I cant turn it on, then how do I change BIOS? That includes avoiding pricey shop cost... Im a broke girl.
As for the motherboard specs.
MicroStar K7T Turbo Socket A ATX Motherboard
VIA® KT133A (552BGA) Chipset
-- FSB @200 / 266MHz

The mainboard BIOS provides "Plug & Play" BIOS which detects the peripheral devices and expansion cards of the board automatically. The mainboard provides a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) function which records your mainboard specifications.
Hope this helps. Sorry for the lengthy post. Im seriously stressed.
take out the battery in the mother board, disconnect the power supply from the motherboard, press the power button a few times, reconnect the power supply, power the mother board up, shut it back down, then replace the battery and power back up. This will restore your system defaults.
P.S. Make SURE you have your static electricity discharged before touching your mobo (touch a metal part of your case). Also dont just start yanking on things, look for clips and whatnot. Also, read your manual before working on the inner workings of a computer.
Like I said before... Im not the sharpest tool in the shed at all times.
Last night when this happened, I took that little round battery (Size of quarter) out and put it back in, but still nothing. Im gunna try again. I feel really silly right now.
Sorry bout the delay in the specs. I had to find all the info on the board. I dont have a manual.
Afte it gets going again, then I would really like to fix my orginal issue, but Im a little hesitant.
Thanks for all the help!
