Hey for some reason, every now and then (once a month maybe even less frequent) when my computer boots i get an error message saying overclocking failed. It doesnt specify what failed, but it just says overclocking failed. And thats the strange thing I dont have any of my parts overclocked. So basically when it happens I turn on my computer and it says, overclocking failed, press f2 to load defaults and continue. So i press f2 and then it runs fine. I haven't added any new ram, or hd's or anything like that since like december so I'm almost positive its not new hardware causing the problem. Once again, I haven't overclocked anything on my computer. It doesnt seem to be a serious problem, because it only occurs like once a month, and sometimes less. thanks for any help.

Asus boards have a feature if the board fails to post reset the bios and display a message that your overclock failed.It also happens if the machine lost power for a long period of time.

Use to happen to my buddy every other time he tryed to reboot.Turned out his psu was overvolting by 6% swaped that and everythings fine now :).
