The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

cmos problem

Asked by jgruschow in General Computer Systems

Tags: bios_microstar, 6380, kt3

I have a MSI kt3 6380 E motherboard with an Athlon 2000+ CPU
I noticed my machine was running slower and after investigating I found my FSB was set to 100. It has always been 133.
I entered my cmos setup and first thing I noticed was my time and date where wrong. I corrected them and then found I could not save them and I could not exit setup. Pressing Esc did nothing. The only exit was via power switch. Restarted and noticed time and date were still correct.
I navigated to FSB settings and raised speed to 133. Again I could not save and could not turn page. Only exit was power switch.
FSB was back at 100.
What do I do next? I might add comp. has never been overclocked.
