CPU problem

Hi Group, you have helped me in the past and I'm hoping you can help me
again.
I am currently running an Athlon XP2000 processor on an Elitegroup KS57A
mobo
with 512 DDR ram and windows XP pro, but I cannot get the processor speed to
run any
higher than 1250Mhz, this is I can only set the CPU settings in the bios to
100/100Mhz, instead
of 133/133Mhz, whenever I make these settings the computer locks just after
the graphics
card details are displayed on the screen (on booting up)
The only way I can then unlock the PC is to clear the CMOS by moving one
of the jumpers on the board. I have had the CPU running at 2000Mhz in the
past
but cant get it to run now.. any ideas??
Any help appreciated
Fogler

When I say I had it running at full capacity previously I meant it showed
2000xp on booting up
but it was actually running at 1.67 Mhz
sorry for the confusion

"...whenever I make these settings the computer locks just after the

Maybe flashing the BIOS would sort out all your problems. Maybe you should
update all possible drivers as well, including those of your graphics card.

If you can run okay at 100/100 and not at 133/133 it may well be your power
supply.
