What is your question? For one thing, your CPU temp is too high, so either the HSF was installed incorrectly, you have poor case ventilation, or both. It's also possible that your temp is being reported incorrectly. And I don't understand the rest of your post. The 2000+ is supposed to run at 1.67GHz (12.5 x 133MHz). Your's is running at 1.25GHz so you obviously have the FSB set at 100MHz instead of 133MHz. But then in your "comment" you list the FSB (BusClock) as 66MHz? If it was running at 66MHz, your CPU speed would be 833MHz. I suggest you remove the HSF from the CPU, clean off the thermal material, & apply a fresh layer of paste. Use any brand you like, but follow these instructions: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions_small.htm ASUS A7N8X-X Athlon XP 1800+ 8.5 x 200MHz 1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro SP1

The k7s5a, for whatever reason, reports a bus clock of 66 mhz in windows based software, even though it's really running at 133 (100 in your case). Nothing to worry about there. Windows doesn't boot at 133?? Could be a number of factors, ranging from incorrect or faulty ram, bad power supply, the list goes on...Your best bet is to narrow down the problem by checking each piece of hardware invdividualy. Who knows, windows may need a re-install.
