Computer overclocking itself?

travis575757 · Aug 4, 2013

I left my computer on while i left my house to go do some stuff. When i got back it was off so i pressed the power button and the sign in screen appeared. Thinking that is just went to sleep i went to sign in but before i could the screen flickered off an another one came up prompting me that the most recent overclock failed. THIS MAKES NO SENSE because even though my mother board does support overclocking i have never tried it also it told me to press f1 to bring me to bios where i checked all my settings and they were the same. What the hell is going on. My cpu temps were also normal this makes no sense.

That is just a "canned" message that appears when there is a crash sometimes. I've had that happen many times on many machines. The BIOS assumes you tried to O/C the PC and it failed. So it wants you to reset the BIOS to default. Nothing to worry about.

Now... the reason your PC crashed in the first place might be something to consider, though.

Well i just updated the bios, could having old bios mess it up?

Possible, but not likely. if you look thru the various BIOS versions, you'll see what was added or fixed. I doubt that was part of an update. It just happens because the BIOS thinks your crash was O/C related.
