Issues with saving overclock configurations in the BIOS system.
Issues with saving overclock configurations in the BIOS system.
Good day! I'm attempting to push my Core2Duo to 3.66Ghz in manual mode, but after saving and exiting, the motherboard restarts on its own without any notice or alert. Upon restarting, I immediately check the BIOS and find that the overclock settings have reset back to the default mode instead of the one I set earlier before the automatic restart. My board has three preset overclock levels: a) first step 3.xx, b) second step 3.xx, c) third step 3.19Ghz (currently active). It seems the board doesn't allow values beyond the third step. The BIOS model is Phoenix-Award, motherboard Foxconn G31MXP-K, processor Core2Duo e8400, RAM Hynix 2gb DDR2 and Kingmax 2gb DDR2 (total 4GB), GPU GT210 512MB 128bit Gddr3, HSF at 2200+ RPM, and a 500w PSU.
It might be feasible to find a function on the motherboard that, when you push the overclock past its boot limit, restores itself to the standard settings. Of course, this is done just to ensure safety.

It's possible a motherboard feature will reset the system back to defaults if you push overclocking beyond the boot limit. This is just for safety.
Thanks for clarifying! I should have been more careful and increased the speed gradually. Appreciate the help!
