Hi all,
I've been helped here before on numerous occasions (thanks lsdmeasap) & here I am back again! I've been running a stable o/c of 3.6 for a few months now.
I noticed this morning when I booted up that it had reset the o/c to 2.66Ghz which is the cpu's default speed. I've had no crashes recently, it simply looks like it reverted to defaults for some reason. Once in the BIOS it did show me a warning box saying that there had been a problem.
I've stress tested my o/c extensively (OCCT & Linx) and have never had any issues. Any ideas what could cause this reset? I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions as to how I can tweak my settings.
Also, I'm running BIOS version F9c (maybe F9d, cant remember) - Is there any benefit for me flashing to the most recent BIOS?
