Ok, finally passed out at 3 a.m. last night but still can't stand it. I got my GTX 280 in yesterday, installed it, and slapped on a fresh copy of Vista x64. Everything was going great. I played a few hours of games, installed some utilities, everything was fine...
My CPU has been overclocked to 3.2 for some time now. I've had no issues whatsoever. I didn't even have any issues while I played most all of yesterday. For some reason though I accidentally put the computer into sleep mode (hadn't reverted the default button to shutdown). I decided to bring it out of sleep and just shut if off. It comes up, blue screens and then shuts down. It tried to restart several times but wouldn't come up. It finally gets to the BIOS and now all my settings are back to defaults. It boots into windows on stock settings but every time I reset my overclock back to anything but stock it does the restarts again and finally reverts back to default again.
I've had to pop the battery once so far to get it to come back up but I'm stuck. What is causing this and why won't my system overclock again? What have I done?
My specs are in my signature, please help!
