P31-DS3L (Socket 775) won't overclock
« on: May 16, 2010, 10:38:57 pm »
Hi, I've been using this motherboard for several months now with an Intel Dual Core CPU overclocked. But from last month the motherboard refuses the overclock the cpu. Normally after a pc crash the motherboard does reset overcloack settings to default so I would just go back into the settings and set the overclock parameters and it would work fine.

I don't really have any explanation to why it refuses to overclock, and I heavily relay on the overclocked CPU speed of 3Ghz for gaming due to the stock cpu speed 1.8 Ghz only.

I've tried turning off overclock settings, using motherboard's default settings as well as lowering overclock speed along side other parameters but to no avail.
If someone could give me some suggestions I could try out, would very much appreciated it.
