BIOS Errors

CPU Clock Mismatch is more likely a jumper setting that is incorrect on the motherboard. Get your motherboard manual and verify the CPU clock settings. In the manual is a table that shows a multiplier and clock speed of a motherboard. For instance, if you have a 133Mhz motherboard and a 1.2GHz CPU, it will have a setting that will multiply the 133Mhz to match the speed of the CPU.

Also, check the motherboard to see if it supports the CPU that you have in there.

If you continue to have problems, contact the manufacturer first (via web site, email or phone) to have them walk through the steps of configuration. Sometimes the manuals are not printed correctly.

After flashing your BIOS, it is good practice to perform a reset on the CMOS memory.

On most motherboards, you set a jumper for clearing CMOS,
Boot up the PC,
Shut down,
Place the jumper back to the normal position.

Boot up, and enter setupand adjust the settings as needed.

Often when the BIOS is updated, different locations or data formats are used to store your user settings in the CMOS memory.

I assume that you have a motherboard where you set the CPU clock in BIOS settings.For a socket A motherboard with SDRAM memory, I ALWAYS set the CPU clock manually.

The site I downloaded the file from only gave me file option to download. After looking farther into the page there should have been two options to download. One for processors that were 466 or less and one for processors for 466 or higher. Aftergetting the correct one it worked.
