Hey guys,

Wanted to run something past you, thats makeing my life a bit difficult with this board.

OK, as I posted a page or 2 back, I have 4ghz 12hrs prime stable at 1.32v. Ive also run memtest overnight, to check my memory settings are ok.

However, sometimes when switch on my PC it freezes on the windows loading screen for no apparent reason. I have to restart a few times, and sometimes even that doesnt work. In which case I have to clear cmos and manually set all my individual settings. It seems cmos reloaded doesnt even allow it to boot (its like its not applying the settings correctly).

Once ive manually re-entered the settings, it boots fine, and runs windows. Ive even primed it again to make sure.

Its really quite frustrating, and it also makes it hard to push the chip further, cos your not sure if windows is freezing because of a bad overclock or not.

Im on 0109 bios, so maybe its a BETA bios issue? Any thoughts?

Yep, same thing here as well. I don't think it is the bios revision as such, because it does the same with the 12/24/07. I think i have narrowed the cause down a bit though. Like you i have a good stable 24/7 clock, as the link in my sig shows. What i have noticed is that the "Clock setting fine delay" returns different values than my stable values, if set using Cmos reloaded. It also returns different values if you input your basic ram settings manually, rather than leaving them on auto. As it happens my workround is the same as yours, as it's the only way to get the "fine delay" settings i need. If we had full control over the "fine delay" settings, i think it would help to solve the problem. Unlike you though, my problem only rears it's head when when using Cmos reloaded, not from a cold boot.
