I just built my first computer and am quite happy with the results, except for one thing, IT WON'T OC AT ALL. I have an E7200 with an ac freezer 7 pro that is stuck at stock speeds. Everytime I change the cpu bus speed in the bios,even by a few mhz, my computer fails to even post with the new settings then turns back on and resets to the previous settings. I've tried flashing to latest bios (f4b, the version reccommended for my proc on the gigabyte website) and still no luck. I've loosened the memory timings, disabled energysaving options, increased the voltages, and locked the pci and memory speed and that won't work either. I can't even underclock! Anyone have an explanation? Is it a processor problem, mobo, or is it my ram (2gb OCZ ddr2 1066)? Is somehow my bus speed locked or something?
