So, I'll start with posting my computer specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.120330-1504)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model: G1.Guerrilla
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: n/a
Memory: 4096MB RAM (Should be 8GB)
Available OS Memory: 4094MB RAM
Page File: 3630MB used, 4557MB available
Windows Dir: C:\Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Card name: AMD Radeon HD 6870 Series

So, For starters my PC can't find my CPU? It's a Intel core I7 950 3.06Ghzs. My ram is DDR3, Although it says 4GB it was 8GB. I had to remove it to get my PC working again.

So my issue, My PC seems very moody. If I turn it off say right now, It will restart over and over just after the bios screen. Sometimes it wont display anything at all. At first I thought it was a ram issue, but I've tested every single ram stick and there all fine.

The thing that gets me the most is, It will restart over and over. I will turn it off, unplug it and plug it back in. It will again restart over and over and over but then SOMETIMES AND I mean SOMTIMES it will start like nothing had ever happen?

My Computer skills are fairly high, I built this computer myself but this really does get me. I have no idea what it could be or why it's only doing it sometimes and not others.

Lately though I've come across this error in the bios:

This however is wrong, The CPU is not overclocked. It's set to standard 3.06ghzs in the Bios. Why my bios is telling me it's overclocked you tell me. So any help would be greatful.
 
Maybe worth removing the cmos battery for a minute or two and loading defaults to see if that clears anything?

Sounds good, My PC is working at the moment but am rather scared of it turning off again. As It takes about an hour to get it working again :<
 
If removing RAM helped, even for a wee bit, then id suggest paying attention to the cpu as the memory controller is known to cause these sort of problems
 
Try running memtest. I had very similar with an Asus board, disabling the anti-surge helped for a while and intially I suspected the PSU but in the end I replaced everything one part at a time and it turned out to be the ram.
 
For some reason, Removing the cmos happen to make it boot first time around. So am abit confused but it has all the ram in it and is working totally fine.

Not that am 100% sure, Removing the cmos came up to use default settings. So if I turn my PC off and on again, There's a chance it could just boot loop again. Am starting to hate Gigabytes motherboards...
