CPU speed querried

I often get this message at bootup : "During last boot, your system hung for an improper CPU speed. It's now running in Safe Mode. Make sure the CPU speed conforms to the specifications."
I would not know how to vary CPU speed - is there a way of avoiding this message ?

Sounds like it could be an overheating issue. Check in the BIOS and make sure that the CPU, Front Side Bus, DRAM speed are set to auto. It might not be exactly written that way in the BIOS though.
