	What language except Czech do You understand? German? Croatian? Download the latest Instant Flash BIOS 2.10 from here: http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68-S/?cat=Download&os=BIOS Flash it via USB stick formated to FAT32. After flashing, load optimized defaults, save and exit. The CPU should work fine. Good luck!

	And when I set the multiplier to [x16.5 3300 MHz], and I will save and exit, so the PC does not restart. And when I set the multiplier to manual so I'll be right there pops options: CPU Frequency Multiplier: [x16.5 3300 MHz] Processor Voltage: [1.3250 V] NB Frequency Multiplier [x8.0 1600 MHz] - (With that, I have not tried to move.)

	Go to the BIOS and Load optimized defaults - it could do the trick. I hope ASRock TSD will watch this topic, because the X2 560 is just a higher clocked X2 555 C3/ 550 C2.

	There is not Load optimized defaults. Only these options: Load BIOS Defaults - (I tried) Load Performance setup Default (IDE/SATA) - (I tried) Load Performace Setup RAID mode - (I tried) Load Power Saving Setup Default - (I tried) Nothing helped. :-(

	For some reason that CPU is not on the supported CPU list for your board. It is in essence the same CPU as the Phenom II x2 550 but with a multiplier of 16.5 which gives you 3.3ghz. You can try going into the "advanced" tab of your bios then under CPU configuration set "overclock mode" to "manual". Then you can go down to the multiplier setting and set that to 16.5 That should force your CPU to its rated clock speed. The only other thing you can do is contact Tech support directly and ask them for a custom bios to support your CPU. Neither Parsec or myself actually work for ASRock so sadly we cannot do this for you. I hope this helps.

	Thank you all. I tried "You can try going into the "advanced" tab of your bios then under CPU configuration set "overclock mode" to "manual". Then you can go down to the multiplier setting and set that to 16.5 That should force your CPU to its rated clock speed.", but without effect :-(. I try this: http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp.

	I suspected that may be the case, I had hoped that manually setting the values would work but sometimes the board will not allow that to protect the CPU and board from potential damage when it does not recognize the CPU. It is meant to allow you to boot so you can update the BIOS.
