CPU overclock doesnt save.

Hi, I've overclocked my E2200 to 3.0Ghz and it's running at around 25-28 C on idle. For some strange reason, whenever I turn off the computer, or restart it sometimes it goes back to stock settings. It doesnt happen all the time though, only sometimes. So far it's been running fine Overclocked for about 2 days but just right now when I restarted it, it turned back to stock settings. How can I fix this?

[QUOTE="Ghost_loy"]Do you have powersave mode on? Check your power settings and be sure it is not allowed to mess with your CPU. That's what was wrong with mine....crazy-player

Go to control panel, then click "System and Security" and click "Power Options"

Then click customize or "Change plan" Then click "Advanced"

Find the drop down for "Processeor power management" and be sure the "Minimum processor state" is 100%

What this does is when you are not using your pc it slows you cpu to conserve power. However it does not remember to return you to your overclock when you start using you pc again, which results in the computer returning you cpu to it's default clock. Let me know if you need more help.

By changin the minimum to 100 you stop the pc from ever lowering power consumption from your pc. Thus never lowering you clock.
