try using the cmos clear jumper. that should force the board back to stock speeds. if the issue happenes again or the motherboard older then three years the cmos battery could be weak. i would start out by using cpu-z and reading your mb info and seeing if there any bios updates and see what the mb running for cpu and ram speed. i seen it a few times if the cmos is not the issue it could be a bad clock chip.
