mayostudent,
Received your PM. Thanks.
A "cold boot" would be when you boot up from the power-off position, i.e., after powering down completely, your machine is OFF, nothing running.
A "warm boot" is when you've powered up, running, & say push the "reset button" on your box (if it has one), use ctrl-alt-del, or "windows restart" button to re-boot.
Since the better OC settings are lost/not recognized when you power down for the night, e.g., here's what you can do.
When you power up (first time for the day), you'll get the beeping from the TH7II mobo. If you push the "reset button" immediately, it starts to boot again but you'll have the opportunity to hit DEL when appropriate & reach the SoftMenuIII dialog. Then you can set the cpu for 2000/100 (normal default), hit F10, you'll reboot to windows normally.
(In the absence of a reset button, just shut totally down immediately using power button. Restart (repower) & it will give you the opportunity to get back to SoftMenuIII, without the beeping.)
Now, REBOOT (any of several ways) & get back to SoftMenuIII & readjust settings as discussed or put the ones you want. Now, after reboot, you're set. When you power off completely, you'll have to reset the OC values over again.
It takes 1 boot into windows, using default settings, to get started each day, with this mobo & current bios. Hopefully, with a future bios update, we won't have to go through this. Right now, there are 2 TH7II bios files available, the original (what I use now) & the new minor update file which doesn't address this problem.
If I come across a way to get around this, you'll hear from me.
Good luck, let me know how successful you're able to get a steady/stable OC.
