I built a old system and every time i start it up it says I get a cpu clock speed error. I belive i have a celeron 300. So i set it to automatic 300. And then everything seems fine. Then when i turn it off and back on it gives me the same error. HOw can i find out how fast my cpu clock speed is supose to be for this cpu.
 
after you turn off your comp and back into your bios is the time reset? since its an old system the cmos battery could be weak/dead so basically your bios is reset every time your comp is turned off.
 
ok....soooo can i just grab a bios battery from another old mother board and pop her in??!?! :p
 
MMM . let me give that a try. But good advice. I figured thos batterys where good for a long time. Just have to find out!.... :D

..there's nothing wrong in using a brand new battery :p ..as long as it has the same voltage (should be 3V) and same size.

I've seen batteries going bad in less than a year...
and also - take a look at caps on your mobo.. one time I was working on a computer that would be giving me CMOS errors even if I used a good battery - it turned out that it had 2 blown caps that I didn't notice at first..
