  • Basically by overclocking, you are overworking your CPU

    What motherboard have you got?

    You may have to reset the CMOS by using the reset jumper switch, but we can identify where it is if you can tell us what board you have

    thanks, somebody else gave me the answer, as i put this thread up using my phone, it put it up twice for some reason, i did not know i was overclocking, bit thick at those sort of things, but yes i did need to reset my cmos, luckily i still had my motherboard book, so i was able to find the correct jumper through that, but thanks for your reply, much appreciated, many thanks Dave.
