Stock settings for Overclocked PC with Issues.

[Unwina]

Sorry I tried this over in tech support but it didnt get any answers. re -read it and thought it might be better in the overclock section and changed the title as well.

Right my shiny new PC has arrived and I am having a couple of issues with it and was just wondering. As it only came with a single profile and PCS have only provided the OC parameters details I was wondering the following.

1. Should they have provided the stock settings ( or are they just the defaults on the board)

2. Can I just load defaults ( I have written down all the settings relative to the manuals defaults)

3. If I load the defaults will I lose the profiles.

4. If I load the defaults will my pc be reset to the defaults as in the manual and more than that will it work with defaults.

The reasons I would like to try the stock settings is as follows :-

A. Occasionally the USB mouse does not work when I boot/reboot the machine ( Its a standard MS Basic Optical mouse 1A using intellesense I think). I have to reboot to fix it ok.

When checking the device entry for the mouse I get "This device cannot start (code 10)" the mouse is on Port5 hub4 when its works or when it fails.
​

B. Sleep does not work at all and its annoying me, all indications are that its caused by the OC ( Iindication is its the "Internal PPL Overvoltage" setting fo the OC).

C. It failed to boot at all this morning on 1st attempt just seemed to get stuck, I removed a USB stick and it rebooted but I'm not convinced it was the problem. It was off a day a so.

I'm not wholy convinced it will be the OC but I'm trying to eliminate things at the moment.

I think you should phone pcs since they shipped the pc overclocked. You will get a much quicker reply if you phone them. PCS staff rarely post in this section.

I did this morning, nice guy called matthew gave me the following answers as I interpreted them.

1. Should they have provided the stock settings ( or are they just the defaults on the board) &
2. Can I just load defaults ( I have written down all the settings relative to the manuals defaults)

Just use F5 at the BIOS level and load defaults this will take the board back to the default settings.​

3. If I load the defaults will I lose the profiles.

No​

I will give the F5 defaults a go when I have finished documenting other things I am doing and see if the sleep works ok without OC.

The other points I raised were

A. Occasionally the USB mouse does not work when I boot/reboot the machine ( Its a standard MS Basic Optical mouse 1A using intellesense I think). I have to reboot to fix it ok.
When checking the device entry for the mouse I get "This device cannot start (code 10)" the mouse is on Port5 hub4 when its works or when it fails.

Mathew said I should make sure I am using the top row or USB ports where the old PS/2 sockets used to be I have done this and will monitor it.

Seemed okay this morning although I didn't get the 3 beeps message win7 restored okay after power off reboot. I'm thinking there must be a hibernate rather than sleep option perhaps​

Interestingly even with the OC on board I have found that the sleep does work after a fashion for me anyway. It just means I have to let it fail when 1st booting and press the power button for 4 secs to turn it off and then reboot normally the PC does seem to restore ok and this is working for me at the moment. (Not sure if its damaging to keep switching it off though).
