Overclock settings won't stay in the computer.

I'm playing around with an Abit BP6, and have 2 533 Celerons overclocked to 600 right now.

But about half the time when I restart the computer, it goes back to its default stock 533 speed. Then I have to go into the BIOS soft menu settings and reset it to 600. Fortunately this computer isn't turned on and off every day.

What can I do to make the settings stay? It has a new CMOS battery if that matters.

    I don't know Tim, since you've changed the cmos battery. I would think it would stay set. Do they have a setting in smartmenu for a hold on speed error maybe?

    I think I fixed it. In the overclocking screen it had a listing for "Speed Error Hold" and it was enabled, so I disabled it and restarted the computer a couple of times. It seems to be keeping its overclocking settings now. :thumbsup:

    What is this speed error hold thing? Something that resets the overclock settings if the CPU is saying its speed is different than what the overclock settings dictate?
