Reset the FSB to 166 in the BIOS.
Opps... never mind... I missed the emachine thing.
You probably have to reset the CMOS!

for resetting the cmos, do i switch the powercap or take out the battery?

First disconnect the power cord.
You can do the battery removal but still remove the cable.
Note. NEVER POWER UP with the CMOS when set to reset.
