Default Never Use Update live for Updating BIOS

I got a story, it just happen today

I found the utility Downloads for this motherboard, I though why not update my BIOS. So I downloaded the Biostar BIOS updater Live, It downloaded the BIOS and flash it. Ok now I reboot, system is unstable. Took out the battery, System some how run's 800Mhz CPU So I boot up to windows with 800Mhz Downloaded the Real BIOS for my motherboard and flashed it my self and it works great

The Update live must of downloaded A really bad version of the BIOS or a different BIOS to begin with.
