Besides the multiple layers of issues that it could have been causing my problems, formatting did the trick. So I am not even sure it was that CPU-Z beta made a difference. I couldnt get windows to see 8 cores.
One thing I did notice was that settings in both AI and advanced would allow...
I agree with Optional. I have many builds that swapped out just the HHD/SSD with no issues. I simply removed the chipset drivers etc. In fact, I have a basic image of the OS for that reason.
In any case, it really is ideal start clean. Which I did. And it worked. I could have spent hours...
thanks all.
Nmanley. Those are the original threads I had followed before posting here. Great info! TY.
Falkentyne I can't edit boot.ini. Its versy strange.

I ran all those tools, stressing thesystem but as I have said above, Windows still lists 34x100 aka 3.4Ghz.
I went back and changed various bios settings per the HF Official ASUS P8P67 Series Overclocking Guide and Information. No go...
DeathPrincess,

I used the Auto OC function in and out of windows. In Windows all it does is jack up the blck to 103. My...
I am hoping someone can assist with this. I have been searching the web for days on this topic to no avail.
I have followed numerous guides on BIOS settings for the new SB combo. My settings seem to be stuck at 3.4Gb in Windows 7 64 Pro despite changing in the 1253 BIOS.
I have...
