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?
