I recently built a new computer based around the Q6600. However, now after two weeks of working it won't boot into Windows when set to 3 GHz (9 * 333). The computer posts but gives an error along the lines of "CPU is unworkable or has changed, use SoftMenu setup to correct". I set the CPU back to 2.4 GHz and it seems to be working fine for now.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Everything is at default voltages, and I have run prime95 tests and it passed without error. As well, temperatures have been fine, going from 30-35 degrees at idle to 50 at load. My setup is as follows:
Abit IP35-e
Intel Q6600
Thermalright Ultima-90 with a Scythe 90mm Kama fan and Arctic Silver 5
Crucial Ballistix PC-8500 RAM (2*1GB)
HIS Radeon 3870
Thanks in advance for any help~
