Ok, I builded a computer recently and everything is working good untill I power on the computer recently. Before win xp pro loads I get a message saying overclocked failed. Can anyone please explain to me why this is happening.

P.S I never overclocked anything on the computer.

Thanks.........

It's not F2 for all systems, but as soon as your computer boots you should see a message that says "Press ___ to enter setup". Press this to enter the CMOS setup utility.

If you have Phoenix - AwardBIOS, try going to Standard CMOS Features -> Load Optimized Defaults

Let me know how this works out.
