try looking in your bios to see if you can reset your processor speed to what it was.

Maybe it lies.

Get the free 400kb standalone program SeePU.

It will show you what you have running.

You didn't buy this machine used and it was changed to read 500 instead of the real speed of 333 did you? I hope not.

I do not think that any kind of crash will change your processor speed. (I have been wrong before though)

Since you didn't give any specifics, this is only a guess...somehow your FSB reset itself from 100mhz to 66mhz

5 x 100mhz FSB = 500

5 x 66mhz FSB (actually 66.67) = 333
