Lanparty NF3 Ultra bios problem

recently purchased A DFI Lanparty nForce3 Ultra mainbord for Socket 939. After I installed it I tried to overclock it a bit. I failed because my two sata disks were connected to port 1 & 2 (which aren't locked). So I removed my videocard and connected my sata disks to port 3 & 4.

From here on things start to get weird...

When I tried to boot my pc didn't post. After a couple of tries, I cleared the cmos. After this my pc did boot correctly. But when I entered the bios, I saw that my HTT was set to 353mhz instead of the normal 200mhz! So I chose the "set everything to default" option + save & exit. Rebooted. Everythings fine, but... if I change one thing in the bios (like bootorder, time & date, set my memory setting correctly, increase my agp frequency by 1 mhz or whatever), after save & exit my htt is set back to 353mhz. It doesn't matter what I do, if I change just one little thing my htt is back to 353. I simply don't know what's going on here.

I tried flashing my bios, but no result.
I powered my pc down and unhooked the powersupply for an hour with no result.

I simply don't know what to do anymore!!!!

Does somebody know what the problem is?

Have you tried loading the failsafe defaults. - slow but should be stable.

Yep. With that setting I can boot into windows and everything works ok. But the problem still remains that when I change anything, the htt is set back to 353mhz...
 
Can you use an earlier version - anything to change from what you have - even reflash your BIOS with the ver you have now -
See if that works, then, if not, try an earlier ver.

Did you flash the BIOS, or did it come with the latest rev?
If you did it, then was it working ok before it was flashed?
 
The mobo came with the latest bios version. After the problem occured, I flashed it (Winflash) with the latest version from the DFI website. Problem still there after 2 attempts.

I can see if I can find an older bios version somewhere tomorrow. I'll get back on it when I have.
 
Wow, Strange,
Thanks for the update though. Will you update us if you find out any more about the problem please.
Don't be a stranger.
