Thanks to the great assistance from LSDMEASAP back in July - http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/coul...testing-27020/ - our sys has been running flawlessly.
Until - the past two days. BSODs started once again. I only needed two driver updates, but the BSODs continued. Everest Ultimate stability testing once again showed the cache and mem testing failing at 2 seconds.
I did not update the BIOS, given some of the problems folks had with this a few months ago. But I re-checked the BIOS settings, and for some reason, 4 of the items had reverted back to the default, so I changed the CPU clock back to 'enabled', PCI express back to '100' (from Auto), Sys Mem Multiplier back to '4.00B', and DRAM timing back to 'Manual'. Once again, Everest stability testing worked perfectly and the sys ran great all day.
When I turned it back on this AM, those same 4 parameters have once again reverted back, and the BSODs returned. I have once again changed them and Everest is fine once again.
My question, why have 4/14 changes to the BIOS that I made in July now suddenly started to repeatedly revert back to the default, yet 10/14 are remaining fine? Is this a sign of something else going on in the system, and if so, what would you recommend to prevent such from continuously recurring?
Many thanks in advance.
