My E4300 was OC to 3.2 ghz on liquid cooling and tending to only go about 40C which isn't to bad. But today I fired up my PC and noticed it was running at stock speeds. I went into bios and check it out and all my settings were fine. Rebooted to see if it would happen again and it did. Reset my bios to default and changed it all back and still the problem persisted.
So I flashed my bios and still no avail. So I began toying around with it to see what the problem is exactly. It turns out my FSB refuses to change I can't even OC by 1. On the bios OC screen everything appears to be correct but once it starts to post I see it at 1.8ghz and cpu-z confirms this. Whats also strange is cpu-z always shows me that the mobo is still deciding to get extra juice to the cpu as if it were OCed (I have the voltages on auto) wasting energy for no apparent reason and causing heat.. I have changed it back to stock voltages which makes my liquid cooling pure overkill.
Anyways here are my specs.
E4300
P35-DS3L
2X Muskin PC2-6400 1GB
ATI Radeon HD 3850
Since the bios has defaulted back to its original state you might have to re-enable/disable some settings. For eg, speed-step, C1E, fsb-ram sync, etc. Also (pretty basic but got to ask it ) is the ai overclocking option on manual? Can you underclock?
If all else fails, the good old cmos battery trick might help.

Thanks but I "solved" the problem. Seems yelling at it and taking it all apart and back together somehow fixed it.... how strange computers are...
trust me I redid all the settings. I OCed it myself with the exception of the voltages. I also couldn't underclock I did try that. I don't know what the hell its problem was and I don't even care as long as it doesn't come back.
