"In BIOS arrow down to PC Health (image below) and write down a
few things, Current System Temp, and CPU. Turn off (disable) every
thing other than CPU Smart Control and CPU Smart Fan Mode. If
things get set to high or out of portion the BIOS has a built in
Safety function and believe it will pop up. Turning these options
off allows a little freedom to crank up a few things without
getting a pop up BIOS messages.
"After shutting down a few PC Health options some power option
need to be disabled, turbo boost, CPU Enhanced Halt, and a couple
other things. See the second screen below under Power Down.
"NOTE: Some options appear only if your CPU and memory supports
it. DDR3/Dual/3 Channel memory."
