asus probe quit and bios stuck

I enabled memory boost in bios and set my fsb up to 140. Then I disabled some things I didn't need in bios (ports, power management), and turned off some services in win xp (set them to manual). Then asus probe quit and memory boost in bios got stuck on so that I can't disable it. I set bios and services back as close as I could to where they were and reloaded asus probe and still it didn't work. Then I tried a system restore and that didn't work either. So now I can't monitor temps or turn off memory boost. I can adjust my fsb and run all windows programs smoothly. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Should I flash bios, reset cmos...? Help is greatly appreciated (and needed).

You said recheck it, so I reset bios to default configuration and asus probe works now. Thanks! The bios memory boost is still stuck though (optimal performance setting). Any ideas for that?

My best guess would be to, use the reset on motherboard. I use ASUS AV7333 and it comes with CLR_RTC on mother board. move the jumper over then move it back this resets it all. This should solve the problem.

P.S. I know you know FSB is 133. I dont know what kind of problems you could encounter moving to 140 but you may of got a taste of it.

I sure appreciate all the help here, thanks. Yes, I do like having it in optimal. But I noticed something else. When I tried to turn off my computer it restarted automatically. I had to disable power management in bios to be able to turn it off. I'm going to flash bios.
