Athlon 1.33 GHZ runs at 1 GHZ / Jumpers

Last night I discovered my AMD Athlon 1.33 GHZ system was running at 1.0 GHZ. I thought that maybe it was just a bug and it was actually running at 1.33 GHZ regardless. Then I discovered I was wrong.
I did some research and it turns out I need to adjust my CPU Clock. My motherboard default is set to 100 MHZ and I need to make it 133 MHZ. So ok... did exactly what they said adjusting the jumpers but when I adjust the very last jumper my monitor doesn't turn on. The default is on and I need to set it to off. The monitor will only work with it set to the default....
I have a BioStar M7VKD motherboard..... any help? Also in BIOS I can only go as high as 110 MHZ for some reason... I flashed BIOS and such as well.

It comes unplugged everytime you change the jumpers, and only realize this when you go back to 100 Mhz. Actually no, and you probably hate me now.
Check what speed the PCI bus is at. Remember, when you change it to 133 Mhz, you must change the PCI divider to 1/4. At 100 Mhz, you need it at 1/3. See if you forgot to change that, it might change on the BIOS or the mobo, I'm not sure. Also, see what chipset you are using. I have heard that the Via KT133 won't run 133 Mhz FSB, but the KT133a will.

How is “Frequency/Clock Control” set in BIOS (page 2-31 of the manual)?

My BIOS is different than that though... it was different 2 days ago and it's different when I flashed and updated today. I have that model but something is fishy here...
Summary: I believe that the 1.1 GHz is a default setting when something with the setup is improper. I also have a barton 2500+ and when i was testing it for overclocking abilities, invalid setups (such as inv...
Summary: HELP ME!! My system only runs at 1.5 Ghz instead of the 2.0 Ghz that AMD says that the Athlon XP 2400 should run at. In the BIOS it doesnt let me change the FSB speed which i think is the problem. hel...
Summary: That is because you need to set your FSB to 266, To do this look for a jumper on your motherboard, or check your manual and put the jumper in place then you will run at 1.67 which is athlon XP 2000 sp...
