smklear Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I started my computer today and for reasons unknown I was given the error where it says bios defaults loaded f1 to continue... I haven't messed with my overclock since 07/05 because it was healthy and fast. Upon trying to restore my old settings, i kept running into a problem loading windows. After changing the settings one by one i find that when changing the cas latency from 2.0 to 2.5 or 3.0 it will boot, but will stay at the black screen just before booting windows. 3.0 actually stops while the drives are being detected. This really puts a damper on me getting my overclock back. What could be the problem here? Any help would be great, thanks! =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdLSmith Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Clear CMOS and reflash your BIOS. Don't forget the routine when Flashing BIOS. You must clead the BIOS Reloded Section because they may be and probably are corrupt. If problems persist, yell! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smklear Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks for the fast reply, I have cleared the cmos for 15 seconds and 30 mintues both didn't make me get past the part where it says "nForce 4 Ultra" on the boot screen. Right now I'm posting from another computer while I try an 8 hour clear. I have tried my old, and a few new bioses , currently the 704-2BTA. I just honestly haven't touched my bios for 7 months and all the sudden it cleared the cmos , reloaded defaults and now if i change the cas to anything besides 2.0 it won't go. Anything else I might try if the 8 hour doesnt work? Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smklear Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Come to think of it I did just buy a keyboard and that was perhaps the first time i'd restarted since I plugged it in, any significance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
supershanks Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 If EdLSmith suggestions don't work, your memory may have a fault i've just got back a new set og G-skill after mine wouldn't run @ 2.5 after running @ 2 for a couple of moths. Edit: Read Months not moths :shake: luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd switch back to old keyboard and see what the result is. That is if you can. You'll note that we offer only suggestions, opinions and experiences.

RGone Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Yeah, if he has been running that TccX at 300Mhz for months it has taken a dump and will not run other than Cas2. Have had 2 brands do it. RMA is the only hope for the memory has entered the crapper and 'only' running CAS2.0 was 'my' first symptom. RGone... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
