Re: [gentoo-user] What happened to my CPU?

[Kevin Philp <kevin@cybercolloids.net>]

What motherboard and BIOS do you have? There can be a problem with Award bios 
based motherboards that causes the bios to fail to find the 
frequency/multiplier settings from processor. Usually it would drop you into 
the bios with an error message. You can set the frequency manually there. 
However when it happened to me the board had to be dumped, it was an Asus 
A7V600 runing an AMD 1800
