OK. After few hour. I success flash the Bios back to A06 with a floppy disk (spent an hour to find the floppy).
The problem now is the CPU still run at half speed. The Bus Speed suppose to be 533 MHz. It is 400MHz now. Does take the CPU out, the Bus Speed change back to 533 MHz?

Did you reset the BIOS settings to default after you flashed it? Either 'reset to default' in the BIOS itself, or try taking the CMOS battery out.

I reset the BIOS settings to default------>didn't work.
I took CMOS battery out------>didn't work.
What now?
Should I take the CPU out? Or some other trick?

Try what Slaymate suggested. When running in "real mode" (Not sure what that is, except for maybe, not "compatibility" mode.) By pressing Ctrl + Alt + \ at the CPU speed section. It'll take effect immediately in BIOS.

Already tried. Didn't work.
Next solution?

Try a large hammer.

I think you are at the end of the road here.

Probably I just donate it. It's too old anyway.
Thanks everyone.

Can you take screenshots of CPU-Z? Preferably of all tabs available.
