Default CMOS Setting wrong./ Overclocking failed!/ Seemingly random reboots




i just recently upgraded my ram and video card and was wondering if there's anything i can do to fix these problems. here are my specs:- Intel Pentium D 945 Presler 3.4GHz LGA 775 Dual-Core Processor- ASUS P5B LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard- A-DATA 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory- EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR GeForce 9800 GTX(G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16- COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power RP-600-PCAR ATX 12V V2.01 600W Power Supply- Running WinXP Pro SP2i don't think anything is overheating. since i've upgraded my video card and ram, i've been getting the CMOS settings wrong. / Overclock Failed! and the additional F1 - enter setup and F2 - load default and continue options every time i boot up or when the comp reboots. i'm thinking it has something to do with the drivers for the video card but before i go and install a different OS, i want to see if i can resolve this another way. the computer restarts (BSOD appears for less than a second then the comp reboots) after a while of use, but i can't say how long exactly.. probably half-hour to 2hrs of use. i've never tried overclocking my cpu.. maybe it has something to do with the ram? i don't know. i know enough about computers to put one together and if there's a problem i can't fix, i reformat and try with a clean hard drive, but when it comes to messing with timings, clock speeds, etc.. i'm a bit clueless. oh, here's the stop message i get when windows boots up:BCCode : 10000050 BCP1 : 9F8C39FD BCP2 : 00000008 BCP3 : 9F8C39FDBCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1can anyone help or am i destined to reformat and probably have the same problem in XP x64?
