Hi,
I just cant overclock on my g41m-es2l board. But I overclock on g41mt-d3 board with no problem. bios automatically reset after overclock. My cpu is pentium dual-core E5400. I hear USB device holding oc back. I unplug all usb device but same problem. What be the possible cause? Can any one say?
Thanks.

Hi and welcome.
If it is the USB devices that are causing the problem it is actually more likely the drivers on the motherboard. I would suggest downloading the latest ones you cna find and then installinh them. Some of the chips are a bit finicky about driver updates and require you to remove all vestiges of the old ones before the new ones are installed.
You could try just disabling all USB ports first to see if that does indeed cure your OC problem.

Hi,
Disabling USB dosnt help me. Bios auto reset to default setting. When i enter to Memory intelligent tweaker, it gives a warning message. See the image i attach. But what is the main problem in my system?
Thanks

The BIOSes are sometimes a bit on a "hair trigger" so to speak and seem to throw all their toys out of the pram for no reason. This is what is happening there. I would suggest updating the BIOS to the latest version and then synchronising the two BIOSes, the Main and the Backup, so that they both have the same version. It often seems to help with the stability.

How do i synchronize the two BIOSes? Actually i never update a bios, cause never need to. My bios version is F6. I see many people oc in g41m es2l without having problem but me.
thanks

Well if you post the revision number of your motherboard I will let you know if there is a newer BIOS version available. The number can be found on the bottom left of the board running up the side near the PCIE slots in white lettering.

My board revision id 1.1 and there is new F9 bios version for motherboard. I checked already. Will backup bios update with main bios?
-
No. You will have to run the Main BIOS update first and then check it out and make sure that everything is ok with it. Once you are sure and happy then you can go on with the synchronisation of the Backup and Main BIOSes. To do this just follow these instructions :
If you have a PS2 keyboarrd connect that instead of the USB version as it is more reliable.
From a cold start with the power to the machine switched off press the power button and then enter the BIOS by pressing Del.
Then when you get to the main screen press F9.
This will bring up an extra screen which will display more information about the two BIOS versions. Assuming they are different exit the BIOS and shutdown.
Again press the power button and this time press Alt + F12 where you would normally use the Del key to enter the BIOS. You will find that then your monitor will turn black and you will see:
Press [Enter] to start copying main BIOS to backup BIOS...
When you press Enter more text will appear saying:
Writing BIOS image.... xxxKb OK
Once completed more text will show:
BIOS successfully recovered! Power off or reset system!
Do as it says. Both Main and Backup BIOS chips now store the same BIOS version. You can now reboot as normal.

Thanks a lot man, that works ;D
So bios is the main problem which holding me back from overclock. Now i successfully overclock without a problem, after two month trying to overclock. Thanks again.
