Computer wont boot - error overclocking failed

Hi All,

A few days ago when I went to turn on my computer it would not start. The fan started up, ran for a few seconds, then stopped and tried to restart.

After about 10 attempts I got to to AMIBIOS screen with an error message "Warning - Overclocking failed - will revert to default settings"

It then tried to load windows and failed.

This has happened the last three days.

One time it loaded windows ok, everything worked ok, I shut the pc down and when went to re=start same problem happened.

Another time windows loaded (in safe mode) and then suddenly got a blue screen of death and re-booted and problems above occurred.

Another time windows loaded, it tried to repair the disc (I have a Raid setup) and then a blue screen of death again and re-booted and problems as above.

I rang dell tech support, told them the issue and was told I will get two new hard drives (for free)

But when I have googled this error message it seems it more a motherboard problem then a failure of the hard drive.

So question 1 is - how can I get this fixed (being slightly computer hardware illeterate and not confident to change BIOS settings etc)

Question 2 is will replacing my hard drives fix this problem as I dont think it will

Thanks for any help.

Cheers
