My system is going nuts

[hmz]

Hi all,

Here is my rig:

DS3 rev 2.0 (F9)
E6600
g.skill 2GB of RAM (4-4-4-12)
7900GS
Antec NeoHE 500W
Using Vista

Yesterday i decided to update the bios using BIOS flash utility from Windows. So, i updated to F10 and then it started.. The system was unstable at default settings, so i flashed back to F9, but it didn't help. I can't OC at all. When i try to change any settings, the system shut downs and then after a couple secs turns on at default MB tweaker settings. I wanted to clear CMOS, but i couldn't find a jumper on the board, so i took out the battery and put it back. No luck here too. I ran out of ideas, so your help is needed here

Download the bios package, run it and put it on a floppy, if you dont have a floopy borrow one, buy one whatever. I understand this works on USB thumb drives too but I dont have one.

Do this, dont skip any steps.



Boot and get into the existing bios. run it to explode it to a floppy or whatever.
Load "Fail Safe defaults"
Go into MIT and make sure everything is a stock speeds including memory, auto for all the CPU and memory etc.
Save and exit
Boot and get into the existing bios.
Press <8> for the Q-bios
Follow the menu
when it reboots
Get into the bios and Load "Fail Safe defaults"
Reboot
Now set up your normal settings.
before you save and exit hit F11 and make a bios settings profile.

Let us know if that helped.

It worked! Thanks for the quick help. Now I'm running at 3ghz. CoreTemp shows ~53C. Don't you think it's too high? I'm on stock HSF.
