Reinstallation of XP after a CPU frequency change

I installed Windows XP over an Athlon processor which I
set up as at 100Mhz instead of 133.
When I tune my processor to 133mhz as I should, XP display
a "blue error" warning me that my system meets a major
trouble, which I guess is a conflict between the
information stored in the register base and the info read
fromp my computer bios.

I am unable to retake control of my XP (either through
command line or XP reinstallation which I am not allowed
to do) unless I reset my BIOS to its original 100mhz
processor frequency.

Any guess so that I can bypass or modify the XP register
to enjoy my full speed processor without formatting my
hard disk !
 
Eric, what is the make and model of Motherboard? Do you try going with
all Default Settings except the 133mhz in the Bios?
 
Hello Eric,
The speed of the processor should be able to change without affecting
Windows XP. I suspect there is another problem with the system that is not
able to handle the change. What speed are the processor and motherboard
rated for?
What happens when you boot from the CD and try the install with the speed
set at 133?
Whay did you do the install at 100 to begin with?
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
