OK when my computer comes back on from a sleep state, my FSB goes back to 200Mhz, is this just the way it is and there is nothing i can do about it or is there a bios settings i missed.

See comp parts in sig.

Thanks

Are you using clockgen or something like that to overclock from Windows at startup? I don't use those utilities, so I don't know why restoring from hibernation would reset the clocks, but it doesn't sound completely outlandish.

If you're overclocking from the BIOS (where, imo, you should be doing it), then coming out of sleep mode shouldn't affect the cmos settings.

Bios overclock only :(

It isn't hibernation though.. it is sleep mode... there is difference.

hibernation stores whats in the ram on your harddrive, then turn off you computer.
Sleep mode not sure what it does but it seems like it turn off all devices on your computer but still applies a tiny bit of power so you ram can keep info, it is like when you shut a laptop, that kind of mode.

Is your sleep mode suspend to ram, or just regular "sleep". My rig resets the multi when it's in suspend to ram, but in normal mode it doesn't reset. Go into BIOS and check your suspend settings and see if it's STR or not.
