Motherboard: GA-P35-DS3L
CPU: Q6600 3.2Ghz
GPU: 8800GT 512MB
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 800
I successfully overclocked my processor about nine months ago with help from these boards (Thank you again), but I've now run into instability. Basically, every time I turn my computer on from being off for a while two things can happen:
1.) The computer boots up, shuts down, boots up, shuts down.... etc. until it finally boots up steadily without sending signals to the monitor or any other attached device.
2.) The computer boots up and doesn't send anything to the monitor, keyboard, mouse, or anything else attached to the computer.
To fix this I have to remove the CMOS battery and reset everything to default. Curiously though, once the computer does boot up, I can overclock it back to 3.2 Ghz, restart it, and everything works just fine.
So, my question is why is the overclock (as in the picture) suddenly unstable after so long, and only if the computer is off for several hours?
