Hi all! Well I have a bit of a question and possibly a problem.
Lets see:
Well my PSU was failing on me, so I went out and bought a brand new one. a 650watt. I usually know what I am doing, and once I hooked up the PSU i decided "hey! why dont I flip the 'stupid' switch on and overclock like a madman now that I have a new better PSU".
so I started OCing. it didnt really pass boot that much , but once (with my HT at 1200mhz) I passed boot. I logged in and i got a error message that said something like "one or more of the files contaning the registry is deleted or corrupted" and within about 2 seconds my computer rebooted itself and I decided to go back down to stock settings. My computer SEEMS to bee fine since, and I havent received that error since either.
But im wondering, why/how does OCing mess up the registry?
and
since I have not gotten that message anymore does it mean my registry is back to normal?
I really do not want to reformat again...
