    “I tryed somthing. Instead of setting the multiplier to x7 and the other thing to 400 to get 2.80GHz, I changed it to x8 and the Frequency to 350 to get the same 2.80GHz”

    It’s NOT the same 2.8GHz. One runs at 1600MHz FSB, the other runs at 1400MHz FSB. In other words, 8 x 350MHz is slower than 7 x 400MHz. I recommended that you use 400MHz for a reason.

    Go back to 7 x 400MHz, memory multipler of 2.0, lock the PCIe at 100MHz, & increase the CPU voltage. Notice that I put “for starters” for the 1.20v setting, it’s up to you to find which voltage setting will allow the system to boot & run stably with the overclock settings. Intel lists the max safe voltage for the Q8400 as 1.3625v. Try the settings I recommended but bump the voltage up to 1.35v. If it runs stably at 7 x 400MHz at 1.35v, try 8 x 400MHz. If you have to, bump the voltage up again.

    When I search using: “Setup Lock” there are a few “hits” for a Dell Optiplex (desktop) model, and many for the Dell Vostro laptop series, many of which have it mentioned only in a list of fixes for a bios update for Astro 3300.
    I looked at several pages of “hits” – no Latitude models seen.

    Lots of desktop mboard bioses have the capability of using a password to lock the bios Setup settings, but in most if not all cases, it’s easy to remove the passwords by simply removing the mboard battery, or by moving a clear cmos jumper, or a clear passwords jumper to the clear position,, or by shorting certain contacts that accomplishes the same thing as moving a jumper to the clear position.
    None of those methods clear passwords on modern (less than about 13 years old) laptops.

    Obviously I wasn’t aware that you can lock the settings in the bios of certain laptops yet be able to access Setup.
    Most (up until this subject I would had said All) laptops have only the options to set a system access password – you must provide it in order to access the computer at all – and/or a hard drive access password – you must provide it in order to use the hard drive – and/or a bios access password – you must provide it in order to access the bios Setup.

    He hasn’t mentioned being prompted for a password.

  7. PXE means it's trying to boot from the network because it doesn't see your hard drive. Either the cables have come loose or your drive has died. Open up the case and check that the cables are secure. Other then that you may be looking at a new hard drive.

    Never mind. I was calling the method incorrectly. The parens are not needed. I
    also didn’t have an extension for the backup log file. My final batch file for those
    interested:

    @ECHO OFF 
    SETLOCAL
    :: Parse date.
    FOR /F "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%A IN ("%DATE%") DO (
        SET MM=%%A
        SET DD=%%B
        SET YY=%%C
    )
    :: Ensure log directory exists.
    IF NOT EXIST "D:\Logs\EventViewer" (
        MKDIR "D:\Logs\EventViewer"
    )
    :: Execute WMIC to first backup events, then clear the log.
    FOR %%A IN (Application Security System) DO (
        IF NOT EXIST "D:\Logs\EventViewer\%YY%.%MM%.%DD%.%%A.evt" (
            WMIC PATH Win32_NTEventlogFile WHERE LogfileName="%%A" ^
                CALL BackupEventlog "D:\Logs\EventViewer\%YY%.%MM%.%DD%.%%A.evt"
            WMIC PATH Win32_NTEventlogFile WHERE LogfileName="%%A" ^
                CALL ClearEventLog
        )
    )
    :: Leave
    EXIT /B
    

    This will backup and then clear the Application, Security, and System events in
    Event Viewer, saving them to “D:\Logs\Event Viewer”.

    When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
