My computer has been behaving really funny lately. The other day when I booted it up I noticed that my clock speed had changed down to 1800+. I went back in the bios and changed the settings back (thinking my 2-year-old daughter had somehow changed the settings.) Now the computer won't boot up. I hit the reset button and the settings are yet again different so then I thought it was my mainboard battery. Changed it, still nothing. I eventually got to my OS boot menu, but it wouldn't load anything. I'm really lost with this one. One of my problems is I don't have any new components to test on the mainboard.
Ok, thought it might be the PSU, so my new one came in today. I'm still having problems. One of the things I now notice is my bios doesn't seem right. When I change the clock multiplier and the FSB freq to the right settings and the computer flashes them into the memory, the settings don't change. If I'm able to get it stable enough to boot into Windows I notice I've lost all my sound, if the computer doesn't reboot on its own, or My mouse quits all of a sudden.
I'm starting to wonder if something has not gone wrong with the mainboard. As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
