Ok, system:
We got ourselves a hot and juicy E6600 smothered in 2gigs (2x1gig) of ram capable of running at PC6400 5-5-5-5-12 (corsair xms2) all on a plate of Asus p5b
K, anyways.
So i had been running it at 3.6ghz (9x400) for almost a year. The thing is is that i've never actually sat down and really given it a good run over. I just got it and it ran at 3.6 so i left it that way. Well, the other day i took my comptuer completely apart and reorganized, cleaned etc.
I replied thermal paste to my CPU, put some on my video card HS (that fixed THAT problem) and some on the northbridge (also added a pretty sweet little fan to that HS).
Booted it up and temps all around were down, i got the grand idea to funk with things.
So i installed the newest BIOS from asus (1801). Well, that was moronic. It wont even pass P95 at 3.5ghz now and I'm having all sorts of problems with it booting when overclocked.
I looked the bios up online and a lot of people wern't happy with it. Now it's not even on the website (they replaced it with a beta version, which is no better).
I'd like to revert back to an older version but am at a complete loss at how to do this.
