HP MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) 5.27 With Unlocked Overclocking Options

I have had that same exact thing happen before. As a matter of fact every time I increase the cpu freq to anything over 250 it does it. Only way I can get it to function after is to unplug, hit the power button, plug back in, power up. Then it will hang at the initial bios screen for sometimes several minutes, but eventually boots windows. After that windows shows that it is reverted to default cpu speed of 2.3 ghz but rebooting again and entering bios it still shows the cpu bus speed as 255 or whatever I had set it to. And any amount of reboots/power cycling/unplugging won't affect what windows reports as cpu speed. The only way to get back my oc is to enter bios and reduce to 250 or less then it is right back where it should be at 2.88ghz. Kinda strange but I don't think that anything higher than that on my cpu is necessary or good anyhow. By the way what version of bios are you running? I am using the 1st release of the unlocked 5.27

Also F.Y.I I had problems with freezing and bsod's with any overclock until I disabled the onboard ethernet. Don't know why but I popped in a cheapo pci card and disabled the onboard and haven't had any issues since.
