I was justing the settings in my BIOS and now my comp won't boot up fully, I changed my CPU host/PCI/spread spec settings.

I have a 1gig athlon, 200 FSB my defualt is a 100/33/??

I changed it slowly testing each time till I got up to 120/37/off
Mu CPU ratio defualt is x10 as well but had it at x12.5 then on the last test i went down to x11.
I did not change my voltage settings.

How do I get in to change this to a lower setting?:eek:

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'd need to clear the CMOS to restore the bios to default setting. I dunno whether there's a jumper on the kta3+ to do this or what, maybe someone who has cleared the CMOS on your board before could help. I've never actually cleared CMOS before, never had to yet. Does that mean I haven't been trying hard enough? ;)

I got it back - restored it and tried some other settings, this time I got an overclock fail error in my boot up - very cool it does that and went in -0 made some more changes and running stable @ 1.1gig @146meghrtz.

Going for more..... but not tonight :D

-That looks right. 10 X 100/33 = 1000MHz or 1GHz. Just remember that it is DDR so actual FSB is 200MHz. If you just clocked the FSB to 146MHz then you now have a 292MHz FSB. I guess you also have a 7.5 multiplier now if you running 1.1GHz
