bios error message about overclocking

[Marku]

I got a setting on my pc that turns off the hard drives after 2 hours of running without me touching it, and when i switch it on in the morning i get this bios message about overclocking, i put the settings back on the FSB to 250-258 for 3.5 / 3.6ghz for my cpu and cpu voltage is increaed by 0.100 i think at the moment. if i restart the pc myself with my OC settings , i get no such error. maybe i should use put PC to sleep instead of turning hard drives off in future?? any advice on OCing on my spec would also be appreciated, i might even need to format soon its sluggish on start up.

first of all for the sluggish start up, that could be down to just the drives and what you have starting up when you log in.

Use MSCONFIG to choose what programs you want to load up when you log in.

Do a defrag with DEFRAGGLER to make your system slightly faster

Do a DISK CLEANUP to clean up the drives

Check what your main hard drive is. Even though I am running an athlon quad my system is a little slow on start up because my drive only has 8mb cache. Bigger cache and faster RPM will equal in a faster system i.e. Samsung F3 32MB cache xD

To the overclocking problem.

Try resetting the CMOS by taking out the battery and putting it back in. This will reset the clock etc so you will need to set the clock, date and boot order again and any OC you have on the system.

If this does not work, try updating to the latest bios by flashing the board by downloading the latest BIOS from the gigabyte website and download it, put it on a flash drive, boot up the bios after a restart and use the flash facility!

This will reset the board completely.

Hope this helps!
