Motherboard Auto Overclocking

[Tomfri2]

I have a Asus P8Z68-VLX Mother board and a i5- 3.30GHz Quadcore processor. Basically ages ago my computer keep crashing playing games, or streaming (Memory Dump). I contacted intel twho told me to do a diagnostic test, and said that my mb was overclocking it. I have just done a fresh installation of windows and its started again. So obviously its overclocked it again. I know people will say reset bios etc, but there is some options in bios you change which stops it overclocking and crashing. If anyone knows which menus you change to sort it id appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

When ever it crashes because of the overclock... ASUS boards defaults to no overclock. Also, i dont want to sound like a broken record.. but go to asus site and update to the latest bio and it will default to original specs.

Boot into BIOS and load optimized defaults, then check memory speed & timings making sure they are at advertised speeds, then save settings and exit bios.

EDIT:
After a bios reset, or flashing a new version or flashing the current version again (to fix corruption), you need to boot into bios and do what I have said just above. If bios is reset because of a bad shut down or whatever, you need to do the above too.

The speed of processor says 3700, you just change an option but dunno which one, I loaded default option but dont reckon its done owt, ill try updating latest bios

What model CPU do you have? Intel CPU's have turbo boost which is what they are supposed to do when they get really busy. You can go into bios and turn turbo boost off but I don't think you should do that. I suspect that you have some other kind of problem.
