i had an amd duron 750 in my computer so i replace it with a amd thunderbird 1800 i think it was and the computer still shows that i have the old 750 in it...i can't figure out how to get the computer to change...i tried changing it in the bios but the computer just froze whenever i tried to play a game.. i also tried changing the jumpers but that did the same thing...any help would be appreciated if you need any info just let me know and i'll try and get it

What company made it? I need more info.

made what...the motherboard or what.
if you want the motherboard it is a bios m7vkf

BIOSTAR M7VKF, VIA ProSavage KM133 chipset. Should support max CPU Duron 1.3GHz and Athlon T-bird 1.4GHz/200MHz fsb models, with its latest BIOS(0816). Manuals etc. :

Need to figure out which CPU you have, there is no 1800MHz T-bird. The motherboard does not support 133/266 fsb, but will run at 100/200 fsb only.

i'll try that...sorry it was a 1.5 ghz processor
i can't update the bios because i need to use the award flahing utility and it doesn't work in xp...

it work in DOS.. so get a boot disk from here: http://www.bootdisk.com/

I used DrDos bbot disk for my socket A systems.

My A64 biostar system was flashed using winflash...

i tried using winflash and it said it had a verify error when it tried to update the main block...so then i tried using awdflash.exe and the bin file for the bios update from biostar and put them on a ms-dos startup floppy and it loads the awdflashing utility and shows the bin file and then it gets stuck in a loop of the same flashing utility and now i cannot access my computer...i'm on someone's elses computer now

well i think that the bios got corrupted but my dad gave me a case from a guy at his work and i just put my cards and stuff into that one and it works fine....thanks for all your time and help i appreciated it

Well @ 1.5Ghz it's either a T'bred (Thoroughbred) or a Palomino, the latter is easily identified because of it's large square processor core, unlike the T'bred's rectangular core

Alternatively, you could identify the processor via it's AMD OPN code using the details found HERE
