bios mis-reading CPU speed

Greetings.

Stats: PII-300, AMI bios, P3bx motherboard 440bx chip set.
128 megs ram, win98se (former win95b).

A month ago, son called me and said his computer was shutting down on its own. I'd restart it, try to boot into windows, then it would shut down.

After investigating it, I found the the CPU fan was dead. I guess MB was shutting it down.

Replaced fans with ones that woud fit. Could not find replacements just like originals which had a temp wire and rpm wire, just power. Well the work fine, however, now MB shows it as only being a 133 cpu. I changed setup but can only get it to show up to 200 mhz and its a 300.

the settings it can go to are:

66
75
85

with multiples of halfs from 1.0 to 8.0

Its currently set at 66 x 3 which is given me only 200mhz

hope this made sence.

Any ideas?

 

Hi Basstracker- unless I'm missing something, just set it to 75MHz with a multiplier of 4. Or, set it to 66MHz with a multiplier of 4.5. Hope this helps. Clydeo22
