I have a new barebone AMD 2100 that will not boot past the bios. The error that I receive on startup is

"Please setup CPU Host Clock in chipset features setup"

When I go into setup my keyboard locks up. I restart and the same thing happens. Any ideas?

You have one or more problems:
1) Is CPU correct one supported by mbo?
2) Are onboard cpu and ram jumpers set to right
frequencies for the CPU
3) Are configuration jumpers set correctly?
4) Are CPU, and Ram properly seated?
5) Is the MBO good, CPU good ( It's not unheard of for a MBO to come off the line bad.

If your new system was working and just started this behaviour you need to determine if it is possible that bios is bad, or some software changed the bois clocking.

hope this gives you some starting points

First check the keyboard to insure that it is connected to system correctly or try another keyboard.

In setting the AMD processor speed check the motherboard manual to insure the correct speed setting,most AMD processors will run slower than the speed that is noted on processor

You can try resetting the CMOS memory.

Most likely though, you have a bad CPU or motherboard.

You may have incompatible RAM also.
