Freeze at Boot after 1yr. Shows only processor info.

[Patrick413]

HI guys,

I got a wierd one. I did a build in feburary and as of a couple days ago, my system freezes at the boot screen showing only AMD 3500+Processor blah blah but nothing else. I do a warm boot one or two times and suddenly everything is peachy. Im overclocking the RAM and Processor about 10% and the only thing Ive put on the computer recently is an Ipod. I had a second problem suddenly due to the fact that my first boot is a removable and was looking to the ipod to load, but I switched it to Harddrive and fixed this.

 

Any ideas? The next thing to show up in the boot screen is RAM, am I starting to bake it?

We need to know things such as the bios version you are using, your genie bios and stuff. Have you tried clearing the cmos? You will probably have to start over again.

it sounds like u are just not over clocking right or it isnt stable wat u can do is reset ur bios. and work from there

hi guys,

good tip but today i ruled out overclocking. AlsoI found out this problem is only on cold boots and never on warm boots. My Power supply is pretty hefty but i could imagine that my 3 hard drives and periphery are all starting up on cold boot, leaving my RAM sad and undervolted.

 

Could it be?

Whatever bios you are "currently" using reflash it and clear the cmos as shown in the sticky's and retest.

Its the iPod. Mine does the same thing whether I'm at stock settings or OC'd.
