    So I've been trying to figure out why this happens. If I touch ANYTHING in the custom RAM setting in the BIOS or XTU, my system will reboot anytime I try to wake from sleep, even if the overclock is stable in XTU and memtest. I also noticed my clock speeds drop after resuming from sleep (with no memory overclock), and I have to manually toggle the multipliers to get them back to fullspeed or else it locks at 2.9Ghz. Not sure why that is happening. Any suggestions

    Dont let it sleep? Why do you beat your head against the wall? Because it feels so good when I stop.

    Not really an option when you're a student moving about campus.

    My neighbour used to overclock his work computer till he lost all his data and his boss threatened to fire him.
