Solve : CPU very strange?

Answer»

I have a PENTIUM III 600EB processor running windows XP pro on a desktop.
I have suddenly noticed a slowdown and have found that the CPU is now running at 300 mhz.
Even at the boot up it now shows as 300mhz , does anyone KNOW what caused this and how I can correct.
ThanksImmpossible, to underclock u need a very special program and possibly a hardmod.
What do u mean 600EB?Quote

F.Y..I... the..... Pent III 600EB ^

And here is Intel's response to AMD Athlon CPU: Pentium III on a brand new Coppermine core. At last L2 cache of Pentium III hasalso become an on-die one, though its size reduced to 256KB. We tried to compare all existing 600MHz x86 processors here.



No not impossible! EB is a designation given to that chip also known as coppermine.

Not nessessarily (SP?), I can underclock my CPU right now if I wanted to, with no additional software. It's all done through BIOS.
Hi there
happens all the time to computers where I work.

go into the bios set it to the correct speed, save it and reboot.
That's it.

BTW while u r in there set your mobo to stop at all errors and it will prob report incorrect cpu speed to you as an error on startup
