for example, If you set the external clock to 200mhz but you just installed
a Intel Pentium 100 CPU. You will get a booting failure and even no any 
display.

The BIOS always detect the power on status and make a record in CMOS 
register. The BIOS will set the CPU type to the default value when the BIOS
detect an unsuccessful power on.
