Failed Overclocking...again.

Hey guys i got this "failed overclocking" thing again. Just wanted to know what it means because i didn't change my clock speed, or mess around with anything else in the BIOS...

oh yea sorry for my "dramatic" little paragraph i wrote in my previous altercation with this :P

is your motherboard from ASUS? i have ASUS and have had that message popup on pc startup bios screen a few times. After checking their website forum it seems its common with some motherboards from them. I updated my bios and havent had it for a while now. Hope it helps ya.

Guess i cant fix it then huh...

You didn't say if you had an ASUS motherboard? Have you been playing around with bootex? Anyway, I think it is about time you did a reformat.

Yes i have an ASUS Motherboard, and unfortunately, i can't do a reformat just yet, because my external HD is currently full. I'm going to see if i can save all of it to my Mac Boot Camp, and then maybe do a reformat.

BTW, what makes you think i need a reformat?

Edit: Why would i play around with BOOTEX? I only saw that in my iPod...

Sorry, I meant bootVis. It looks like the plethora of threads you throw at us have finally gotten the best of me.

Why not opt for the easy solution; buy an extra HD and do a fresh install of your OS on this?

BTW, what makes you think i need a reformat?

Call it a hunch.

lol what do u mean the number of threads i throw at you?

Acually it is fixable with a bios flash/update. Check your motherboard manual on how to update/flash your bios. Asus has 4-5 ways of doing this. If u dont have a manual check their website for tips. I think its all just a small bug in bios thats all, no need to reformat or anything.

Probably the high volume of threads you've created...over 300 posts in two months is pretty high, you know.
