try upgrading the bios.
would help if u post more info
Hi i have put together my own computer. I had a problem with the CPU a couple of months ago, and sent it in for warranty service. The computer has been working fine since then, but now my bios and Windows is reading my AMD 2800XP processor as just an AMD 1.24 mHz processor. And my computer has slowed down considerably. Any ideas as to wat may be wrong with the system? Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance for any help.
