Startup error "Overclocking Failed"

The message still appears.

I tried to overclock by an additional 100MHz by increasing the multiplier but I received the same message..

I then tried to reset the BIOS settings to defaults.. I still have the issue.

I removed the battery from the motherboard for 30 seconds and put it back, the message is still present..

Could "flashing the BIOS" resolve the issue or does it not have anything to do with it?

Could "flashing the BIOS" solve the problem or does it have nothing to do with it?

No, definitely not, it's a risky operation when something abnormal happens.

After a long shut down (24h) and complete power off, does the date and time reset?

Install CPUZ and post screenshots
(first tab)

Do you need more information, screenshots?

It's normal at idle, I too if I check it will be at 1600 MHz... Your max multiplier is indeed 39 so it is at stock frequency...

These are the default settings.. However, when I turn on the PC, it shuts down, then restarts, then turns on, then shuts down again, and on the third restart, the PC displays the error message indicating that the overclocking settings have failed..

I tried unplugging my two hard drives and attempting to start my computer, and the problem persists.. any other suggestions?

@Djo:
His problem is not the frequency but a message coming from the BIOS telling him (for no reason) "Overclocking Failed"

@schweppes41
Nothing unusual on the CPUZ side...(unfortunately I'd say)

Try restoring the default settings (without "SETTING", then save I believe, "default settings", you save by F10, then "Y")

Are your RAMS well configured?

The last installed version crashed everything.

It would have been nice to specify that the problems appeared after a flash.......

I had already flashed the BIOS two or three times, but this one really gave me problems..

I personally experienced several symptoms, all at startup:

1st case: a message like
"all previous overclocking settings have failed"
F1 go to BIOS
F2 restore default values..

2nd case: unable to boot automatically from the correct hard drive

3rd case (the one that scared me the most): rebooting every 3 seconds with no BIOS display, nothing on the screen
