What BIOS does the board have?  Is there somewhere you can just set
fail-safe defaults and try with that?  

Is cool 'n quiet on or off?  Cool 'n quiet often causes AMD systems to
show slower CPU speeds because that's what it does.  A real benchmark or
stress test may show the "real" CPU clock speed.

You say you can't boot the Ubuntu CD.  What *can* you boot with?
