Problems with startup and BIOS. Haven't overclocked.

I just assembled my new PC and installed Windows 7. I haven't overclocked anything yet. When I boot the computer all the lights/fans turn on. After about 5 seconds it shuts off and then stays off for another 5 seconds. After that it powers itself back up but occasionally (maybe twice or thrice now) gives the message "Overclocking failed!" and prompts me to change setup via BIOS. When I enter BIOS it claims that "The advanced options or the hardware setup have been changed!".

Notice: I have NOT overclocked my PC nor touched BIOS settings. After that message in BIOS, I always load the default setting and reboot. Still it has happend again.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Here is my rig:
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX560 Ti AMP 1 GB
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3,3 GHz LGA1155
Power Supply: Corsair TX850W V2 Enthusiast
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4 GB 1600MHz DDR3
B]Hard Drive:[/B] Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-222AB
Motherboard: P8Z68-V
Case: Cooler Master 690 II Advanced
 
Lets reset the cmos first and see what happens. Remove power from the power supply, remove the cmos battery from the motherboard, press the power button on the case a few times to discharge any remaining power then wait 5 minutes. Then reinsert battery plug power supply back in and try booting up. Do you still get the error? If so we may need to update the bios.
 
Doing the procedure I posted should remove that message. You are getting that message possibly by a bad voltage setting either for cpu or memory.
