I will keep this as simple as possible. I have an intel core 2 duo e6600 and an evga 680i motherboard. I read that it was really easy to overclock by boosting the fsb voltages and the core mhz, so I did and my processor was then running at 3ghz. however after I turned off my computer, and left it off for a couple of hours, when I went to turn it on again the bios had been changed so that it would go through a memory test, it would look for ps2 mouse and keyboard (it also would not recognize my usb ones) and it would fail to detect my hard drive (IDE) I could clear the cmos and return the bios to its original settings, but then my comp would go incredibly slow (30 mins. to boot up) and it would freeze soon after I got into windows before I could try to fix anything. I reinstalled windows and now everything is fine, but I am no longer overclocking. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if there is anyway to fix it. It also happened when I turned down some of the voltages in the video card settings, so I am sure it has to do with messing around with the bios. thank you for any help.
 
I have flashed the bios it is now bios # p21 if that means anything to you. and I believe that I am running linked, thanks again if you can give me any more help on this. Its not really that I need to overclock, I just want to know what the problem may be in case this causes other problems elsewhere as well.
