  i think this is a pretty specialized question so any pros can help me out?
  
  my gf got a AMD athlon 2100+ but however the bios read it as 1500+
  
  so i went to bios and found that the FSB for the cpu is changed to 100 instead of 133mhz. so i changed it back and when i restarted the comp it read as 2100+ . good thing
  
  BUT! the comp will just lock up at the windows loading screen. the progress bar will slowly move and gradually stop. then the whole screen will just black out and nothing happens,n the end i cant get into windows at all
  
  any kind pros to help me out?
