So last night I played some Counter-Strike: Source before bed... and my computer magically rebooted for the first time in probably 6+ Months...

I went into the BIOS but got a corrupted screen... powered down, rebooted...

It was fine for a while again, so I went to sleep... now my alarm is on my Task Scheduler... and I woke up late this morning...

Turn my monitor on this morning, thinking I must have my sound muted.... nope.. black screen...

Reboot and go into BIOS, another garbled screen... reboot

Lowered my overclock to 2.4ghz 1.45v 200mhz on the memory.

Prime 95 just failed... time to reboot and change to stock...

------------------

In-Place FTT is crashing in less than a minute at stock settings....

Small-FTT is going strong so far...?
 
Sounds like a BIOS problem. I was thinking it might be a screwed up crappy mobo, but i have the same mobo as you and its deffinatly not crappy. Go online using a different computer and make a boot floppy using the BIOS upgrade that you can get a DFI.com and boot to the floppy and flash the BIOS with the new BIOS and if that doesn't fix it, come back.

NOTE: you can also make a boot cd disk or boot USB drive if you so desire.
 
Yea. Definitely sounds like a corrupted BIOS. Try flashing them via the floppy method previously outlined. I am making it a habit to always keep the latest BIOS on a floppy just in-case. Good habit methinks :)
 
Ick.. I was hoping it was simpler.. but it's not crashed yet running the Prime95 test...

I'll have to make a DVD with the BIOS on it... I don't have any recordable CDs or a Floppy drive.

As I was editing this post Prime 95 crashed... I think I'll run Memtest86+ when I get home from school.. I'm on lunch break.
 
Floppies are cooler! Even better if you have the 5.25 floppies :p

Seriosuly, try that and see if it fixes your issues. I think running test 5, 7 and 8 are the ones too use if you don't have the patience to wait out a full pass.
 
Runs OK on small FFTs and nothing else I would also check my RAM.

Nah it failed on Small-FTT also...

Gonna find my Memtest86+ disc.

And I always start at test 5...
 
Re-Flashed my BIOS to the N4D702-1.BIN

Prime95 is stable so far after I think at least an hour on the settings in my signature on the test that does maximum heat and power consumption. It was failing at stock before...
