How do I know if the processor has been overclocked?

[Wayne Tarzwell]

Oh...to add to the first posting:
About a month ago the computer stopped loading windows and went to an error
screen saying that my processor was not the right speed...that I should go
into the BIOS and correct the speed....
As far as I know I have a P4 1.7 and it's pretty much brand new but I didn't
install it myself therefore I have no way of knowing (visually speaking).
Is there a program that I can run to find out if it has been overclocked?
The BIOS shows it as 1.7 but I am not sure if it is an auto thing or if it
was inserted manually by the tech who built the computer.
Any thoughts?

That's auto. Usually reads an ID string from the chip.
