I've been making quite amount of forums lately. I hope I don't annoy you guys.

Here's the thing. My rig's been shutting down randomly and I just found out that it was because it 's on OC and consumed too much power that my old grumpy PSU(which I will soon replace) couldn't supply. That's why it rebooted itself due to power shortage.

The CPU was on OC because of the software that comes from the mainboard driver disk called EPU-4engines. I can tweak it down to 'Maximum power saving mode' which makes my rig very stable in term of not randomly reboot and temp(full loaded on this mode got me only 39C CPU temp)but the performance is poor.

I tried uninstalling the software and going full loaded again. Unfortunately It crashed due to power shortage. So I assumed that the CPU was on OC again without the software. So I still have to keep it around at run the thing on said mode.

So here's my question, How can I config my rig to be at stock speed without said software? Or the Maximum power saving mode on the soft' is stock mode?

I'm not quite convinced by the latter because before this I used to run my rig full loaded with better performance and the temp was on 60-65C(OC temp was 80+C). So please advice. Thank you.

^ that's the fsb mate - don't touch that setting at all - youll destabilise the whole system.
Set to manual - the fsb default is 200 - set it to that.
You want to be looking for the CPU multiplier setting.
Stock 6300 at 3.5ghz it will be set at 17.5 (17.5x200=3500mhz/3.5ghz)
Upping the multiplier by 1/2 ups the CPU speed by 100mhz.
18=3.6ghz
18.5=3.7ghz
19=3.8ghz

Etc,etc.

Go into your motherboard BIOS ("DEL" on bootup) and go back to Factory Defaults is easiest though there may be a few settings you have to put back.

The software you used would end up modifying the BIOS anyway so for now just use the BIOS and don't touch additional software in Windows.

Also, not sure how you deduced it's the fault of your Power Supply since that's rather difficult to prove short of actually swapping in a new one at the same settings and see if it crashes. There are other possibilities but swapping your PSU is a good start if you think it's crappy anyway.

Don't forget your GRAPHICS CARD also uses the 12V rail to draw power.

I'd run MEMTEST for a full pass as well www.memtest.org (or burn ultimatebootcd)

I did go to the BIOS and setit back to factory setting. the problem is that when I looked at the CPU overclocking category it set to [Auto]. There are two option either to set it auto or manual. In manual mode I have to set the frequency which is between 200-500. I don't know what number should I input. Can you help? Please advise.

Use AMD OverDrive to check your temps and test-tweak settings from within Windows before re-booting into the BIOS to permanently set them.

edit: If you are going to use the CPU multiplier for OC'ing, you should disable Turbo and any other core-boost function.
