I need to get my hands on some more details so that I can understand what's going on here though. The problem is that the bits specified to control the CPU clock run/pause ratio overlap other bits in the register that are already defined (and spill outside the register itself). Either I have an arithmetic error, or your BIOS is "broken" and we need to deal with it. Until we're fixed, this just means that you can't throttle your CPU; it shouldn't have any effect on system behaviour.
