Never overclocked before, need help.

You need to turn off the computer. Unplug the power supply from the wall outlet. Move the CMOS jumnper from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3 for at least 2 mins. You may have have a push-button to clear the CMOS, I don't know since I don't have that mobo, but most with a button still have CMOS jumper to do as described. After CMOS clearing RE-connect wall outlet power to the power supply and boot to the bios and Load Optimized Defaults or whatever is similar in that you load defaults. RE-boot to the bios again and make sure your hard drives are set to the correct "mode" that you installed windows in. IDE, AHCI or whatever is the correct one. Don't screw with any voltages, just ensure HDD Mode is correct so wiindows will boot without a problem.

Then when in windows. Go to Windows power management and set Power mode to Performance. Open HWMonitor on the destop so it can log temps and volts, Mins and Maxs. Start P95 Blend mode and hope it will run for 20 mins. Shutdown P95 Blend mode. Capture CPUz CPU Tab, Memory Tab and SPD Tab and HWMonitor that is still open on desktop. That is four captures. Attach to the forum so we can see stock settings and speeds and not that throttled down speed from having Windows in Balanced Mode.

If P95 fails before 20 mins see what it gives as an error and still post the four captures. Maybe with the type of captures at real speeds, something will tip the scales and point out a problem. Perhaps. You have to start somewhere.

ok i'll try that tomorrow. (later today, i suppose)

Here it is, I think I did it for over 20 min, is that alright?

So it was stable for the Prime95 20 minute stress test at stock frequencies and voltages after the CMOS reset?

but the thing is, on the mobo, it wasnt called cmos, it was called clrtc or something...is that the same?
