My System Specs

Default Q6600 + P5K SE = not booting when OC'ed and cold.

I followed the following guide to the letter, very well explained for the P5K users.

C2D Overclocking Guide For Beginners P5K Add-On - Clunk's Forums.

I bring the FSB to 333 to run 3.0ghz.

However I get a weird problem.

If I set it up when the computer is "hot" it'll run fine and will run all benchs, tests, SuperPi, OCCT without failure for hours.

Once I shut down, restart the computer then next day, I get a "Overclocking error, failure" message from the Bios, I lower the FSB to 300(2.8ghz) instead of 333 and I go happily with my business, it'll boot properly, I can set it back to 333 once booted and it'll run fine.

Anyone got a clue?

Thanks.

Edit.
