What is wrong if you build a computer with 1.7 GHz AMD processor but the computer says it is only running at 1.1 GHz?

First, make sure that the processor is supposed to run at 1.7mHz, and is not a 1700. An AMD 1700 should run at 1.46mHz. Second, when your computer starts up you should see information saying "Press [key] to enter Setup", where [key] is F1, or ESC, or Insert. Press that key, enter setup, and browse through the screens you see. This is your BIOS, and one of the settings will be clock speed for the processor. It sounds like your motherboard didn't auto-recognize your processor and defaulted to a low clock speed. You should be able to change the speed to get the processor to run correctly. Note that if you run the clock speed at higher than the CPU is rated for you can MELT the CPU, motherboard, and anything else nearby. Computer performance geeks rig up elaborate cooling techniques so they can "overclock" - it's like hot-rodding your computer - but it's a bad idea for non-geeks to try.
The speed of a CPU consists of the multiplier and the bus speed. On old boards u should look for jumpers but on new ones you should look in the BIOS.

What the terms sockets and pins have to do with which computer component?
Sockets have to do with Processors. Each processor fits in a certain socket. Put the wrong processor in the wrong socket and it won't work and will damage you PC. Pins have to do with RAM or PCI-E Components. RAM modules have a certain amount of pins that will fit in a certain DIMM. PCI-E also uses this term to find out if it will fit in your PCI-E.

Why your computer is not responding after Computer Processor is removed and put back again?
When you install a new CPU (Central Processing Unit) on a computer, you will most probably have to reinstall your operative system. That does not, however, occur when you "remove and put back again" the same CPU. If that happened and the computer doesn't respond you better check for assistance as something has gone wrong.
