Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone can help?
My friends motherboard has decided to suddenly default the bios after 2 years of no issues. It has now started to freeze in windows.
I had a slight oc from 2.66 - 3.00 and all of the temps are fine. What would cause the bios to just default?
Here is the spec
Asus maximus formula x38
Core2 Q9450
8 Gig pc2-6400

Thanks
Gwyn
 
Will try that now.
If this is the reason, would it put the bios into a underclocked like safe mode, as cpu-z is showing thecpu as running at 2ghz?

Click to expand...

you probably had speedstep disabled, the bios default is probably to have it enabled, which is why the CPU is running slower, run prime95 or something and watch cpuz again.
