Default System Boots to BIOS Occasionally

Since re-installing xp, my system boots to the bios, sometimes,
and requests my CPU speed value thinking I have a new or
updated CPU. I select one of the values and restart without any
problems for about a week then it boots again to the BIOS.
This wasn't occurring before doing a full install of xp.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
James
