Bios settings not staying set ...

[KeypoX]

When i get into windows my multiplier and core voltage is back to default but the bus is still high making for a unstable overclock


I have had this machine overclocked for a while and wanted to use cool and quiet (which wouldnt work with my processor overclocked) so i put it back to default now i can't go back to my OC

I want my settings to be a modest overclock 240 x 10 with a memory divider taking my ram to 400mhz .... but stupid bios will not keep settings what do i do?


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh this sucks ...

could that be the problem though.... since it is keeping the bus setting and the memory divider....

duh. sorry. that was a stupid response then. i should read more. did you disable all the settings that AMD uses that are similar to Intel's EIST and C1E. I can't remember what AMD uses.

i fixed it ... i changed a few power settings one including cool and quiet and that fixed the problem ... i know my processor wouldnt work with cool and quiet but it used to work with in inabled in the bios and the driver NOT installed

oh well im happy again at 2.4ghz only 200 mhz increase but its not nice no volt bump or anything ... maybe i will goto 2.5 i know it will go there pretty easy too
