actually it was running with a 3.06 before as for opening up the cpu it is made so you can change it on these laptops it's just 4 screws on the back with a plate then remove the fan 4 other scrwes iwill try reinstalling OS again though one more thing after i istalled the chipset driver like you told me too i saw it go up to 1.605 when running the test with prime 95 will reistall OS then i will post again for news

You said you had updated the BIOS, but have you reinstalled the chipset drivers? (I know HP has them... my Compaq does)- done my motherboard is a intel 865pe andi dl'd the chipset and i downloaded th infinst.exe driver A few questions may help put things in order: How did the original CPU go bad? it did not i gave it to my brother Was it covered under warranty? yes If not, did you replace the CPU yourself? yes Did you replace the CPU with the same one you had? i have no idea if it was the same i baught a p4 3.06 512k/533 fsb and appearently it is a mobile Did you buy it from HP or from a third-party? third party hp would charge like 700$ Did you check to see that the CPU you bought was compatible with the HP motherboard? (If the CPU is a different model)i did not actually i will do that but if it is booting correctly it should be the right one if not it would not accept it what should i do ...thank you so much for all the help you are giving me i did see it go up to 16.05 after the chipset install

this is what i got in the cpu test with everest while running prime 95 Field Value CPU Properties CPU Type Mobile Intel Pentium 4 CPU Alias Northwood, A80532 Engineering Sample No CPUID CPU Name Genuine Intel® CPU 3.06GHz CPUID Revision 00000F29h CPU Speed CPU Clock 1597.13 MHz (original: 3066 MHz) CPU Multiplier 12.0x CPU FSB 132.93 MHz (original: 133 MHz) Memory Bus 166.16 MHz CPU Cache L1 Trace Cache 12K Instructions L1 Data Cache 8 KB L2 Cache 512 KB (On-Die, ECC, ATC, Full-Speed) Motherboard Properties Motherboard ID <DMI> Motherboard Name Hewlett-Packard Pavilion zd7000 (DM790A#ABA) Chipset Properties Motherboard Chipset Intel Springdale i865PE Memory Timings 2.5-3-3-7 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) PAT Enabled SPD Memory Modules DIMM1: Infineon 64D32020GDL6B 256 MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz) (2.0-3-3-6 @ 133 MHz) DIMM3: Hyundai HYMD232M646C6-J 256 MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz) (2.0-3-3-6 @ 133 MHz) BIOS Properties System BIOS Date 10/14/04 Video BIOS Date 08/27/03 DMI BIOS Version F.35 Graphics Processor Properties Video Adapter nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5600 (HP) GPU Code Name NV31M (AGP 8x 10DE / 031A, Rev A1) GPU Clock 276 MHz Memory Clock 301 MHz it would never g oover 1.597

thanks so much for the help i will try this tonight after work to make sure it is working so basically you are telling me everything is fine with the processor right

thanks dude for the advise but i tried that and it will still show 1.6 in system folder and bios i guess it is normall at this point. I think the cpu before was not a p4-m like you say I wanna know is it normall though it says in bios 1.6 although it is a 3.06... and even if it does not show 3.06 i feel like it is running very fast but htere is no way to check at what speed it is running right let's say you burn a cd obviously the speed should go to 1.8 or even 2.0 ghz thnaks for your time and help let mek now if you have any other advise for me

hi every1 gotta little problem. ireplaced my laptop cpu a pavilion zd7000 series notebook. I use to have a 3.06 cpu in there and it died out baught a new one P4 3.06 533fsb/512k and now when i right click on my computer ---- properties , in system properties under general it says: genuine intel ® CPU 3.06 1.6 ghz 512 mb of ram My question is wy does it say 1.6 if I have a 3.06 it does not show on my brothers laptop. I have updated the bios Then iwent into bios to maybe change some settings in there but nothing can be changed and in the bios it alsoo says 1.6 for some reason I talked to the person who sold me the CPU and he sent me a mail: it's a mobile CPU, you have to set it to max performance in order for it to run at 3.06 can any1 help me out plz or knows how to set it's max performance...cause in bios i can't chnage anything it's like you can only change the date and time
