Try removing all power from your pc. Using cmos jumper, clear your cmos. While jumper is in the clear position, remove the battery from the mobo. This removes all power applied to the system and wait 1min. for complete discharge.
Reinstall battery, return jumper to normal position, and reapply power to your PSU. Boot and enter BIOS. Select default settings, save and exit. Allow to boot into windows and then shut down/restart normally.
Enter bios and begin raising your settings gradually to your desired/original OC.
If this whole process does not work, reflash your BIOS and start over. If this does not work, then reflash your BIOS with the one that worked last. If the latest BIOS does not correct an existing problem for you, don't flash it.

sorry i didtnt update before now, i did just that and it worked, apparently since i updated my BIOs to the latest one some months ago but didnt do a shutdown since then, i forgot that it could be the cause so i did a stepback to the penultimate one and it has worked like magic holding the overclock fine.

it seems the latest bios has a bug or something, or it just was incompatible with my other hardware :?

Glad to hear that at least the older BIOS works and it's nothing serious. :wink:
