have an ASUS a7n7x deluxe mb thats not recognizing the true cpu speed which is 2.2 htz(an athlon 3200), bios on bootup keeps coming up saying it,s 1100 htz,updated bios version 1006 to 1007 and no diff...then 1008 with no diff.... board is version 2.0 w/ 1 gig ram, 5200 video ,350 watt psu,48x16x48 rewritable

Where are you getting this speed data you cite...from?

Right-click on My Computer, select Properties...what is the Ghz speed listed?

Or Start/Run...type msinfo32...what is the speed listed for the Processor (right window)?

lol won,t go past bios windows,,, it stops there saying cpu speed is wrong..... go to del and keeps doing that

I hunted for a A7N8X Deluxe for about 6 months to run a mobile amd cpu I bought, that's a pretty complicated bios,
have you returned it setup defaults between flashes, use a dos floppy to run the flashes?

yes ran off of the floppy and put some speakers on and it said cpu fan faulty which is running....changed fan harnesses and still says faulty cpu fan..still won,t go past bios window.....hmmm seems i,m hitting my head on a wall.lol

start over with the flash, with a new freshly formatted floppy disk for just the flasher and the bin file

make a seperate startup disk on another new floppy

let the computer sit after power down for a while and then pull the power cable and then wait a few minutes for the mobo caps to fully discharge and ram to clear, reconnect power

then boot to the startup floppy and change to the other and do the flash, after reboot go directly into bios and setup defaults and save and reboot again

hope the bios isn't fried?

ordered a new bios chip and hope that works

check the battery?

ordered a new bios chip and still says stopped due to overclocking even i ordered bios version 1006 and reset everything when i first setup bios when i first started it up......and yes put in a new battery....even took everything oyt and set them on my wooden table and now it don,t even post...fans spin but no post

check the power supply?

yes and tried a different psu that is a working take out,i took it out for a new mb requiring a bigger psu

there are these little bridges on the top of the cpu which can cause everything to go screwy when some paste gets on them

would this be possible?

You mentioned the bios stating the fan was not working. Did you check to see what port the HSF was plugged into. Some Overclocking Boards will not post if it does not detect a fan plugged into the CPU Fan port on the motherboard.

dachew----cleaned off the little bridges as u said when cleaning the cpu cooler of paste and using ac5, cyber-----switched fans and bios sees the fan now but still won,t go past the first post page,,,,,,,,,,,,,,installed a new mb,cpu and video card while using everything else in the case,,,,thanks dachew and everyone else for responding

I made a mess of a few socket a cpu's with using too much paste, and even lost 1 or 2

that core is so small

even tried a different cpu,an athlon 1200, still no diff,,,,,

In post 13 you said you installed new stuff. Is this before the problem or a solution to the problem?

well he needed his puter to get stuff off of his hd, but i,m still open for suggestions, as i,d like to get to the bios of it

Ok if I understand correctly you installed a known working borrowed CPU, Video card etc In your case with your power supply and you had the same result? And now your back to the bad parts still trying to find out whats wrong. Is this your computer and "he" would be the part loaner or the other way around.
