Figure this out

Fireheart · 02-13-2006, 01:32 AM

Windows starts, I get into the BIOS. Overclock my CPU. Everythings running fine. Takes the stress test no problem (2.8GHz to a 3.5GHz). Now I go above it. Runs fine. Go back and up it another 10, now everytime I check it with Everest, it goes back to its original clock speed, it doesnt hold the clock change. Any ideas?

could you please give some indication of your hardware. use cpu-z to check info on your processor. we have no idea what processor/memory/motherboard you have

your CMOS battery might need replacing

Isnt the CMOS just for like the system date and time?

the CMOS also stores frequency settings, unless it is a jumpered board

cmos stores all settings that aren't default, therefore without the CMOS battery it will not retain them
