I am not looking for major overclocks..but would like tp get it to about 3.0ghz.. which seemed easy till now.

basicly i had my CPU host clock control set at 400 and my multiplier set too 7.. which gave me a speed of 2.8, on bios F3

however.. whilse playing STALKER it all frooze and rebooted itself.. and reloaded all the default BIOS settings, now i cant touch the host clcok contol, otherwise the damn thing wont boot..even if i set it to the default of 266 or below....any ideas....????


Hmmmm..have tried all that i can think of... i have flashed to two different bios f5g and f6a, and have even gone back to f3 bios. However just simply enabling the CPU HOST CLOCK CONTROL (without any adjustment to the freq), makes the machine reboot back to the bios default setting..so it means i can not overclock...is my board broke...or am i missing a trick..
