Boot up error message - please reset cpu frequency??

This is a recent build. Once I new my system was working smoothly, I went into the Bios and upped the Frequency of my Windsor 6000 to the manufactuer's suggested speed of 3.0ghz.

Every time I have rebooted since then, the following error comes up.

Warning! Now System is in Safe Mode.
Please re-setting CPU Frequency in the CMOS setup

It doesn't like the overclock.

Note:

You should never have to adjust any frequency settings for any of today's CPUs. If you do, its considered an under/overclock.

 

What does it run at with BIOS defaults?

 

the default was 2ghz

 

What is your FSB set at?

 

FSB is set at 3ghz

Clock Ratio is at "auto" (default)

 

No, thats clock multiplier x FSB.

CPU frequency (MHZ) 300
CPU Clock Ratio Auto

 

And its only clocking in at 2ghz?

 

no the default speed was 2ghz, i changed it to 3 ghz, and thats what it operates at. Its stable, running pretty cool, but I still get that error message on every boot up.

 

Does Cool and Quiet work?

 

Maybe your board is not capable of running at the fsb that the cpu requires in stock form, like a 800fsb p4 in a 533 fsb mother board. ed

 

the bios settings go at least up to 3.5ghz, and everything is working smoothly as is

 

I think your battery is bad
