    right about now i have a problem, ever since i took my computer to the shop, because my computer would run except it wouldnt turn on my monitor, mouse and keyboard, so he fixed it and when i got it back it started restarting on random times out on me. i use to have about 901mhz but after he worked on my computer it sais 851Mhz. can anyone help me from this little information, because im not sure my self if he changed a file type, or if he changed my cpu prosessor to a weaker one. can anyone please help, this is starting to make me mad because i cant even watch 5 minutes of a movie with out it restarting on me. thanx in advance

    Look at his memory... it says 133 mt/s, not sure what that means but I assume it means PC133 but it's running at PC100 (Or maybe PC1600? It says 2x100 FSB) This means that your CPU multi must be 8.5. If you change it to 9 you should have your original speed back. (Or change your FSB to 133, and CPU multi to 7 for 931 MHZ... a 30 MHZ OC shouldn't hurt it) I doubt the BIOS allows you to change that anyway, it's a Compaq, mine doesn't allow it.

    Other than that, I don't know about your restart problem, I'd take it back to the guy and make him fix it again for free.
