i've been having problems with my new pc and am currently trying to contact ocuk but in the mean time im after some advice. my pc will hang on restarts and sometimes freeze, on reboot the cpu clock goes from 4@ 3.02 to 4@ 2.4 then next time it will be 3.02 again ... the system i bought is 2.4 stock but overclocked to 3 by ocuk. its the "Titan Accelerator" Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz @ 3.00GHz+ DDR2 System"

is the freezing problem something being caused by the overclock? unstable or whatever

thanks

according to wiki with my power options in control panel speedstep should be disabled, and it doesnt change while powered up, one time it will boot showing 3.02 on the very first screen and other times its 2.4 usually drops to 2.4 after a freeze or restart.

speedstep is disabled i checked in the bios so maybe an unstable overclock? and yeah im pretty sure overclocking the cpu more would void the warranty at least for the processor.

i wanted to speak to ocuk before doing much with changing overclocking as im not sure on how it would effect warranty etc. its just getting through to them
