Overclocking Instability Problem

[CrUSTbin]

Hi, i am a new member of this forum and came here looking forward to some help by you guys.

 

I recently bought a gpu for my potato pc (zotac gt 710 single fan, in case it matters) and installed all the drivers and overclocking utility by zotac. I played some games and looking forward to some performance improvements, i overclocked my gpu slightly and then went on with my downloading stuff.

 

Next day when i turned on the pc, i first got the screen freeze and bsod stating that it has got "whea_uncorrectible_error". I understood the issue ( perhaps) and went on to the computer repairing shop. The guy was unable to figure the error exactly and thought that the drive might be corrupt, and formatted my hdd and installed a fresh windows 10. The bsod was gone but all other problems (i.e freezes, booting problems, very long booting times, restarting) continued.

 

As the guy got me a new windows installed, every time i press the F2 for bios, it asks me to select a booting drive and then loads the windows straight without even getting me to bios. (Idk why?)

 

Here are my computers specs:

 

- Intel Pentium dual core e6600 @ 3.06 Ghz

- 6 gigs ddr3 1333 mhz ram ( runs at 1066 mhz)

- zebronics g41 mobo ( lga 775)

- 500 gb hdd

- windows 10 64-bit

 

I know my issue is a bit messed up but believe that you guys can sort it out

How to reset the CMOS ?

1. Shutdown your computer

2. Remove the power cord to make sure that your computer receives no power.

2.5. after you unplug your computer hold the power button for around 10 seconds.

3. Find the battery on your motherboard ^^ looks like that.
4. Remove it.

5. Wait 5 to 10 minutes

6. Put the battery back in

7. Power on your computer

what resetting the cmos will do is completely reset all of your bios settings and all of the information your bios is currently holding (for example, the date and time) and hopefully this will help with your bios issue, asides resetting the cmos im not too sure what else there is to do.
