Improper CPU external speed setting

by dosdummy7 . Updated 24 years, 4 months ago

AMD Athlon 900MHz SA 256k Cache 200 FSB Processor
Dane Elec 256 MB PC133 SDRAM Memory
ASUS A7V-E MB with integrated audio
ASUS V7700 Pure Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS AGP 4x 32MB DDR Video
Maxtor 30.7 GB ATA/100 7200 8.7ms 2 MB Cache HDD
MS Windows98SE — IE 5.5 Sp2

BIOS screen pops up at bootup with this message
“During the last bootup, your system hung for an improper CPU external speed
setting. Your system is now working in Safe Mode (Bus: 100Mhz, DRAM:
100Mhz, PCI: 33 Mhz). To optimize the system performance and reliability,
make sure the CPU speed conforms to the specifications of your CPU.
Since I do not know how to set this in the BIOS, I loaded and saved BIOS
defaults, and booted up.
Can you help?
Thank you.
