How come??

[scooter4n]

How come when I go up with my CPU speed, and at one point it can't boot up, cant find my HD's, and I have to reset my BIOS and CMOS to get back to normal. highest I can go is cpu/sdram/pci @140/140/35 (in BIOS), and multiplayer (on the board) is X11.

There are many reasons why this would happen, all of which it would be impossible to speculate on without knowing specifics such as type of motherboard, ram, cpu, heat sink fan, ambient temp, powersupply wattage, etc. It is possible that you are attempting to go past the ceiling for your particular congiguration but can't tell without specifics. Sorry I can't tell you more.:(

This is bad. I install MBM 5, it idle good, and then core V drops to 0 and back, it the second, then runs good, then CPU fan drops
to 0 and back, and it dose it here and there. Same thing with all the other meeters. What's wrong with that?? And all my stuff is new, system runs good, games plays good, no crazy shutdowns. Explain that...

sounds like to me you need at least a 300watt psu. up the cpu would use more power and i think that 250watt psu wont cut it. also might wanna try to cool it better.
