Question : Problem: Abit NF7-S motherboard not recognizing processor????

when I go to the main settings the cmos isn't detecting my cpu its a athlon 2400xp and the motherboard is a nf7-s
but the motherboard says the cpu is unknown and currently running at 600mhz instead of the 2ghz it use to go at

what can I do to diagnose the situation without having another motherboard or processor
