Hi all, i have a big problem with my computer's stability at the moment due to my processor overclocked!

 

A while back i downloaded this tool from intel.com to overclock my processor not knowing what i was doing or the damage it could have caused. I have had numerious problems listing from system failure,bootup problems,system auto restart and many other problems ever since overclocking it.

I would like to have my processor back to the factory settings and the correct drivers installed so it will run smooth again if anyone knows the correct tools and drivers tha i need from intel.com with a link that would be very helpful.

The simplest thing would be to enter the BIOS, press Del as it's booting up.

Choose Optimal Defaults, then save and Exit the BIOS.

This should reset the PC to non-overclocked settings

First, load your BIOS setup and restore it's default settings, then if you used a program to OC it, restore it's default settings as well. or manually roll the clockspeed on the CPU back to normal. that should fix the problem.
