CPU or memory changed !!!

TL;DR Reset cmos after bios flash, and received the title message.. Why?

Yesterday I reset my windows 10 pc. I got it up and running (basic windows updates-- nothing else, haven't even accessed internet yet). I then flashed my bios (using fat32 drive, and from back of mobo, as it failed the first time around) worked as intended. I then tried retting cmos by removing the battery: holding upside down and pressing against release tab for 5 seconds.
When I booted pc I entered setup, then bios, then save and restart, and
That's when I received title message.
Pressed f1 to enter bios, first thing I am noticing is that date/time is at factory settings, and don't know what to do next.
What do I do?

That is 100% normal behaviour when clearing the CMOS. Just load the optimized defaults in the BIOS and set the system time, you should be fine.

Thanks, i was worried for a moment! Optimized defaults? By default shouldn't they be optimized when I enter setup. Also sidenote i noticed i still have an xmp profile, from before the bios flash and cmos, is that normal?

Do you mean that the XMP profile for your RAM is enabled by default or just that it shows up in the list?

Either way, that likely isn't a concern. I suspect you would be enabling it anyway but it would be strange for it to be on by itself (as far as I know)

It's a boot option; along with setup and continue. I made it a while back, I'd have assumed that after flashing the bios it would have disappeared.. I may reset cmos again and load it up- see what happens. if I don't check back, assume I'm dead.

Update:: problems. I did load the old xmp, worked just as well as setup. The problem is that my pc will not post when I oc both my xml and cpu/ring. One or the other is fine, but as soon as I toggle core voltage with xmp enables, it will not post; Visa versa. Same is ESPECIALLY true with ring voltage. If I adjust it, boom, no post...

The same settings worked fine before reset, though it was a little too hot, and ran into a lot of issues after registry cleaner and new nvidia drivers; hence reset.

Will the updated bios require different voltages? Or is it a hardware concern?

 

[HamBown81]

I doubt that the updated BIOS would change the voltages. May be that your OC is unstable or that the board can't support it.

I have not done OC on Intel, personally, but I just read a lot of stuff that said to leave the CPU ring voltage alone or that the max on air is like +0.3v

From another thread:
CPU Ring voltage is like VCore for Uncore. Performance gains from overclocking uncore are tiny, I wouldn't bother with it much.
System Agent Voltage is the voltage for things like the integrated memory controller. Upping it a bit can help stabilize high speed RAM and a few other things, none of which are significant for day-to-day overclocking.

Basically, if you just want to get a basic OC going there's no need to mess with these voltages.

A different one:
You are going to want to keep this below 1.2v and, generally when reaching about 4.5GHz, you will have to raise both the CPU Ring and Voltage to stabilize it.

Sounds like it could either be the board or the RAM if it is a hardware issue.

Resolvido:
Ir no setup --> Boot --> pesquisar por MEMORY DIFFERENT ALERT --> Desabilitar.
