[NTLUG:Discuss] BIOS

[Gilbert Morrow]

I have a strange thing happening to my desktop computer that has got me
stumped , I just installed a AMD 64bit 3400+ processor in my Shuttle SFF ,
the processor is stated to run at 1.5v . The strange thing is when I boot to
SuSE 10.0 the processor is IDed as a 3400+ but at 1005.05 mhz which it is
not it 2.4 mhz , in Windows the processor is IDed as a 3400+ but at 1mhz
also , in BIOS I have found that the voltage is going from 1.5v to 1.07v ,
the 1.07v happens when I boot in SuSE . If I turn the computer off and then
back on and go straight to Windows the processor is IDed as the correct
processor and mhz , but if I go into SuSE it changes to 1.07v and is IDed
3400+ at 1005.05 mhz every time.

In other words SuSE is changing the BIOS voltage setting at boot and it
remains until power is turned off and back on again , what is happening to
cause this ?
Phoenix Award BIOS v6.0 , Bios Cache able , Off , flashed to latest Bios ,
DMI block flashed with no problems .
