I changed out my home made power cord ( 10g braided solid core) for a store bought one that looks like it is 14g.
Weird thing is that my cmp2 rig was getting really good at booting at 840mhz. Actually once I set it there it has booted without a hitch (I always powerdown when not listening).
Until today. It was running great and I turned it off to replace the power cord. Then its bios reset to 1.6ghz. The only difference was the cord.
Is this coincidence? or the cord?

Happens all the time to me. Change a power cord, put in a power conditioner, bump the sound card...all these things precipitate a host clock control reset or an '...I don't recognize your sound card...' response. But not to worry just reset in bios (sometimes several times), pull out/reassemble the sc ...to be happy. I have learned to tolerate it for the great sonics it provides. Key is to not panic (took me awhile to attain this state of consciousness being the typical pc novice).
Hey Theob,
It has happened many times but always when I have done some bios changes. I finally got it to 840mhz and it was working like a champ. I have enough time with this rig to have a really good sense of when it is stable. Once it is, it is.
But I cant fathom why changing a pc could affect anything. Just dont get it.
I am lucky though as I havent received the "I dont recognize your soundcard" error.
Well when it doesn't recognize my soundcard cplay just won't play and even after reboot there is 'no-esi' icon in lower right of screen. When that happens I need to shut down, pull out the card and re-insert then reboot then I'm ok. I don't know why changing power cords, power conditioners and other stuff causes the pc to reset host clock control but it does. I'm afraid I also have a borderline stability problem in my setup because I can never get quite all the way down to 140 hcc. I had it for a long time @ 143 but I would occaionally get the system to go crazy (loss of screen and loud noise into my system) so I eventually migrated to 147 hcc at which I can run 192 with no issues. S o who knows. Right now I am stable (he says fingers crossed).

I can get 140, but the GTLREF setting ALWAYS hoses things. I HAVE to leave that at the default. It is weird.
Because we're discussing it I'm trying 145 hcc right now. I hate that I can hear the improvement vs 147. I will try to migrate back to 140 while listening to only 44 khz.
I just posted this in cPlay, I was reset to 1.6. I find for me I have to leave the CPU VID at .85000 any lower and I have to do a Bios reset. I am using the ES2LT.
No worries!
Hey I have the ESL2 and have gotten it down to .75v but not at 840. Currently at .83 and 840mhz, though I have to see if it boots from cold.
I too have had things not sound right, only to find that it had reset to 1.6.
Well it happened to me too. The BIOS had reset twice from 900mHz to I think 1.2gHz since full optimization of system.
In my case I believe it is because my system is new and unstable which is the cause of the above phenomenon.
