Here's an issue that I cannot solve.

System description:
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 with 790FX northbridge and SB600
southbridge
Processor dual core AMD 6000+ (x15 multiplier, real processor clock = 3000
MHz)
4 GB DDR2 800 memory in two sticks
Vista x64 SP1
All Processor and memory settings in BIOS are set to auto, BIOS is the
latest one (F6)

Problem description:
Every time I resume from S3 (suspend to ram) state the clock multiplier
awakes changed to x10 instead of x15, making the processor work at 2000MHz
(or 4000+).
This is reported so by both CPU-Z and AMD Overdrive and no other parameter
(memory, FSB, etc.) seems altered.
AMD Overdrive allows me to bring back the multiplier from x10 to x15,
restoring both the clock the smile in my face.
The problem doesn't seem to be related to my motherboard as I found a
similar one in www.tomshardware.com forums. No solution there, though.

Question:
Suggestions, ideas?
Carlos

What happens if you set the BIOS to it's default, and let it run like that
for a while + suspending/resuming? What is the default multiplier if you use
the defult settings?

CMOS battery?

What was the last bit of software that you added to the system? (The last
system change?)

I assume this is a Vista system - turn off suspend, then reboot delete
pagefile and defragment - reboot and turn everything back on? (Reboots,
should be 'cold'!)

Shots into the darkness, I confess!
