Underclocked- does that word even exist? :/

Anyway, I just booted up Everest Home Edition to check my PC, and it says that my current CPU clock is 2326MHz (Original: 2800MHz) and that my FSB is currently clocked at 166MHz (Original: 200MHz). I'm assuming there's a problem here somewhere, so how would I go about restoring both the FSB and Processor back to their original values?

Cheers.

It was odd.... BIOS had my FSB set correctly, booted up into Windows and all was fine.

Strange.

Yes, it is the FSB that is the problem.

Go into the BIOS when you turn on the PC and change it in there. It may be that you have slow memory, in which case you might need to run with a divider, but more likely it just isn't set correctly.

Yeah, the FSB has been changed, so you're saying that's the problem then?

I'll try a google search, if not I'll come and ask again. Thanks.

It's more likely that the FSB speed should be 200 instead of 166. Setting it to 200 would make for the correct processor speed.

Your multiplier has been set wrong (I think)

Shouldn't it be 17x?

166 * 17 = 2822mhz
166 * 14 = 2324mhz

I might be wrong though.
