Okay so I overclock my E2180 on my Evga 650i Ultra motherboard and everythings working good. So I decide to get a moderate gpu for very little gaming (only to test basically) and I installed a 8600 GTS and OCZ PC2-6400 Sli Ready 800Mhz ram. Now apparently everytime i boot with default settings in my bios my computer freezes hmmm? Yet when i put it to run at 3Ghz from my default 2Ghz everything just works fine? Also I set my cpu volt to 4.1285 and its my cpu requires 5.000 (actually 4.5) to run stable but after every reboot it goes back to 4.1285. Im so confused right now and I REALLY need help.

I have also tried reseting cmos in all methods possible. I have also removed every component and started fresh and it just persists. Only thing left to do is maybe reinstall XP but I dont think that have a effect on how the bios is working?
 
The NVIDIA chipset based boards can be quirky as hell. I don't know what to tell you. I'm also confused by your voltage comments. Do you mean 1.45v and 1.5v? Your processor shouldn't require that much voltage to run at stock speeds. One final note is that I have heard about boards not working correctly with the CPU at stock speeds but working fine overclocked. It's just a rare quirk of these things. I've never seen a fix for it though. Then again I've never had it happen to me so I never looked into it a whole lot.

I will tell you that I'm not surprised. The nForce 600 series reference boards don't have the best electrical components onboard.
 
I mean with the voltage that I put it to 1.500 in bios to make it run at 1.45128 in windows. However everytime after restart in bios it changes it to 1.45128 as an option an makes it run at 1.43 volts.

Odd. I've got nothing. I've never seen them do that.
 
Your new ram maybe cant run at the default voltage your motherboard gives when the CMOS is reset.
Use your old ram.
 
It always gives me a Machine_Check_Error

So I tried to reinstall windows xp and apparently its now running on its stock speeds. Im confused but is it possible some drivers or applications can mess up my bios?
