GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 The system has experienced boot failures due to overclocking.

Hi everyone,

I just recently picked up this board and some new ram for it (DDR3 2133mhz) and everything was running great. However, I had a brief power outtage today when my PC was still on, and ever since then, when I start up my PC it gives me this error.
I know there is nothing wrong with my parts as everything was working fine until the power went out (and they're brand new). Also, when I check the memory frequency in the BIOS, it seems to be clocking my RAM back down to 1600mhz.

How can I stop this error message and make it clock my ram back up to 2133mhz?

Thanks in advance.

First try resetting your bios a power outage could effect it. When power goes out it can at time surge right before or after so id check your PSU also. Hopefully it didnt affect anything else.

Thanks for the reply.
Resetting the BIOS did the trick!
