recently when i start up my system and it goes thru the boot sequence it used to say AMD 3000+ but now it says AMD 1300+ everything else seems to be the same, nothing appears out of place in the bios. And in the task manager system idle process is always taking up 99cpu!!!!!! no matter what else im doing!!!! Any ideas of what happened? i recently cleaned my hard drive with superfdisk and then reinstalled windows.

To clear the BIOS, you open your case and find the BIOS jumper; it ill be three pins, two of which are capped. Remove the jumper and put them on the other two pins then wait 10 seconds. Then put the jumper back to its original position. This will reset and clear the BIOS. The CMOS is the chip that retains the information of the BIOS and is powered by a battery that looks like a flat disc. You can also remove that and replace it after a few seconds to be sure the BIOS gets cleared correctly. If the battery is dead then the BIOS wil always default to the lowest settings (I think) and may be your problem.

Also, is there any way you could have used a less descriptive title? Seriously, couldn't everyone rightfully call a question thread ????????? but wouldn't it get really annying really fast?
