other than this problem - mobo is completely stable
have done a cmos reset before anyone asks
I'm overclocking a E8500 but before I had a E2180 with same problem
will transpire as follows ....set E8500 to say 8x450 - fine ... and fine for a day or so - but after a number of resets/reboots/or turn ons/offs - the multplier changes from 8 to default 9.5 !! - all other settings in the bios are unchanged apart from multipler
normally realise this when I find PC is not posting/booting ... why because now the Vcore I've set is way too low for 9.5 x450 but is fine for 8x450 ....
the even odder thing is say that I've set 8x450 as my "setting 1" in the bios, as a saved profile ... if I open up that profile, it loads up as 9.5 too !
so not only does the current saved bios settings change from x8 to 9.5 - but also all my saved settings ?!!
any ideas ?
