hi everyone,

i am new to this forum and after reading lots of threds on here, I am hoping that you clever people can help me!!!

I have a laptop that has just come back from repair and i have noticed that the speed of my processer has dropped from 2.2GHz to 800MHz???

this has happend before when it came back from repair, so i sent it back and they sorted it.
I phone the company today and they have told me that they have shut down and cant help me anymore, even though i still have a years warrenty left!

The machine i have is a rebranded MITAC 8317.
it has a amd mobile athlon 64 3400+
and the bios is made by INSYDE SOFTWARE

the trouble is i have gone into the bios and it only allows me to change the system time, hard drive etc. and it does not allow me to change the processor speed

and i can not find anything anywhere online to allow me to update the bios

please please can someone shed some light in this as i am pulling out the little amount of hair i have left !!!

thanks in advance

Craig

i'm ot sure if there is a diffrent way to get it back up wired it has gone down...only other way i no is by a overclocking program that you could download but im not sure if that will work as i havent done this on a locked bios...unless there is pins on the motherboard you can change to get the ghz back up..but again for it to ov goen down the repair shop would of had to of changed them..witch would be wird as why would they..more on here mite be able to help you
