Please bear with me guys, i really need help...thanks in advance.
I have a Q6600 on a P5B Deluxe Wifi AP with 4 gigs of OCZ platinum rev 2. and 4870x2
I had the Q6600 running at 3.2ghz with 355x9. The vcore was 1.4125 volts, the cpu ran 50c idle and around 71c on full load under prime95
I was playing GTA IV and all of a sudden my computer did a hard lock, the screen froze and the last bit of sound was looping over and over again. I turned the computer off, turned it back on and no post.
I thought it was just too high of a oc so I restarted over and over again hoping the bios would reset to default values as per usual. Finally it posted, but it never got to the bios post screen, it just says "Boot Block Compatible Version Ver.037" and "Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS recovery"
I have a USB key with a bios rom that I flashed about 2 months ago, so the program found the rom on usb key and now it's just saying "Reading file 'P5BD.ROM'" and it's been stuck on that line for about 30 minutes now.
Has anyone seen this before? what could be the problem? is my mobo or cpu fried? could it be that my cmos battery ran out? (don't know how that would cause a hard lock in game though...)
Please please any ideas or pointers would be very greatly appreciated
