hey guys,

alright so the story is this.

My friend has a Go7900gs and we are wanting to overclock it. Since it is on a laptop we are unable to flash the bios through a floppy drive, with this in mind, i turned to reading about booting from a cdrom drive. i have spent probably 5 hours trying to figure this out, im a noob in this area and my mind is no functioning. I have the ISO for the bootable cd, but everytime i burn it to the cd using NERO, ALCOHOL,ULTRAISO, or MAGIC ISO it doesnt boot up. Im completely lost, and need a step by step instruction on how to make one. please


:-D

thank you all.
 
I would be careful OCing a vid card in a laptop. Keep in mind the heat.

Also sometimes they don't work. I had a DFI and for the life of me I could not boot up with a CDRom. Tried the same setup with like 3-4 other boards and it worked. Just couldn't do it with the DFI Infinity AM2.
 
To get the laptop to boot up from the cd you probably have to go into bios and change the boot order. It is probably just booting from hard drive first by default. Or, some laptops make you press a key during boot up to give you a boot-from menu. Read the screen carefully when you boot it up and see if there is anything like "Press F10 for boot options."
 
Yea i have set it up to boot from disk, but hte disk spins, and nothing happens, it then quits the CDboot and goes into windows. so im thinking i burned teh disk wrong. How do i burn it correctly?
 
Hummm.. wrong forum, but oh well.

Sounds like your getting a bad image.Try burning the image with this , it's free and works really well.
