Hi all, I recentely bought a computer from Overclockers, the Ultimate Vanquish and the cpu says its at 3.8 ghz. Its been running fine lately, the temp has been fine everything, but today, I got home from work, turned pc on, it was booting up, then it restarted itself and then a message came up about overclocking or something, cant bluddy remember what it said :( What do I do? ring OC'ers tommorrow and they can help me get in back to 3.8 again or??

Thanks!
 
chances are they saved the OC in a profile, go into the BIOS and load from the profile then save and exit, you should be good as new
the message will of said hit F1 to enter setup or F2 to load defaults, you obv hit F2 and reset the BIOS. If a PC crashes and the system thinks it might be because of an OC, it gives you this option, its best to just hit F1 to go into BIOS then immediately save and exit

Wait,

Nope, there should be a heading on the bottom of the screen saying profiles.

Edit: looks like it's F12

No probs, hard to say, best bet is monitor over the next couple of day s and see how you get on, might need a small volatge increase on the vcore.

But if you do, stick a post in the customer forum below :)
