I am using the desktop in my signature.
Usually its when I'm playing games (not always), but from time to time my computer will freeze. When I restart, I get the message:
"Overclocking failed! Press F1 for setup/BIOS or F2 for continue and boot windows"
I purchased from an Anandtech member, and I don't know anything about overclocking or even if my CPU is able to be overclocked, but he said that the system was not overclocked.
I am a newb to working with my BIOS, and albeit I can understand the majority of what it says at a very basic level, I don't want to screw anything up.
Any ideas why it's freezing?
I can only think of:
1. PSU not powerful enough?
2. CPU is literally trying to overclock and failing
3. Video card getting too hot?
4. ?
Thanks for any ideas!!
