"Warning! System now in safe mode! Please Re-Setting CPU Frequency" on start up after OC

[EditorCreations]

Hey so I couldn't really explain very well what the problem is in the title.

I overclocked my CPU (Specs in sig) from 3.2GHz to 3.8GHz just buy bumping up the multiplier. It has been running stable for over a week - stress test with prime for a few hours and no problems and temp was only 53 max... Anyway, thought I'd bump up the FSB to 205 and then I get the awful message - "Warning! System now in safe mode! Please Re-Setting CPU Frequency in CMOS"

So I went in DIDN'T change any settings (INCLUDING the FSB), saved and restarted the computer and wallah, it started without the message, after shutting it down (correctly) I come back this morning to start up my new 3.9GHz CPU and I get the same awful message again! "Warning! System is now in blah blah blah!"

If this has anything to do with anything I have a 600W PSU but not sure on the make/model.

If you have any idea or experience then please drop a response, it always helps!
Thanks in advanced!

Clear the CMOS ( BIOS to default settings) and try again.
Give us the specs of your PC.

Specs are in sig. Also tried resetting to default, booting up with the defaults and shutting off and then I'll go back into BIOS and reset to how I want it to FSB-200 & Multiplier 19x it'll boot fine but If I bump the FSB to 205 it will just refuse to boot normally - I get the odd occasion when it boots fine and I'll have a 3.9GHz CPU for a few hours until I shut it off and then it will refuse to boot normally again.

try to keep the FSB at stock 200, and only change multiplier. FSB overclocking can give system instability.

I have my FX 8320 overclocked to 240 FSB and stock multiplier though. Maybe try to keep the multiplier at stock first and search for a correct FSB.

I have tried keeping multiplier at stock and bumping the fsb up before but got the same results. I cant increase my multiplier any more than 19x - if I move it up to 19.5x it'll go to auto and if I move it up to 20x it'll go to 5x.

Settle with the 3.8GHz mate, your mobo has 4+1 powerphase design and is no good for higher OC's then youve already achieved anyways

Okay thats a bit gutting but thanks for your help! I mean 3.8ghz is nice just wondered how far I could push it haha
