Motherbord Losing Its Memory?

[Elskie87]

Hi

I am having a problem with my motherbord remembering its BIOS settings.
When i try to overclock my CPU the computer will boot into windows and be stable however after turning it off and turning it back on again it will go into a restart loop and when it finally does post the overclock will have be disabled.

anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

my spec is below:

Intel Q6600G0
Gigabyte P35-DS4 rev 2.0 F7
OCZ Reaper 1066
Raid 0
XFX 7800GT
XFi Elite Pro
Vista Ultimate 32Bit

So this does not happen when your not overclocking? Might mean your overclock is not stable enough/ FSB too high for the board.

Usual reason for this is that the overclock isn't stable so the board turns it off. It's by design. Recheck your overclock settings and adjust things.

Have you tried changing the cmos battery? Worth a try.

The problem will still occour even when the system is not overclocked.

Definately sounds like a flat or dud battery then. Guessing the clock and date in bios is resetting too then?

You need to update the BIOS - try F9 instead.
