Bios and memory

[dervis]

Hi guys

 

So, I finally track down that my Geil memory is faulty, orther some OCZ, chuck it in with everything set to auto and finally i thought days of trouble free computing are ahead of me.

Unfortunatelly, I couldnt sit still so I went over to OCS forums (after checking here), to find some stable oc settings. After I couldnt find any, i IMd one of the OCZ guys and he suggested I take a look at some settings and use them as a starting point.

Being a good little trouper, I did so, and guess what? Now the bastard PC doesnt boot.

So the question is:

Can I somehow "magically" force it to use "optimised settings" or will I have to reset CMOS or BIOS or whatever you guys think i might need to do to get the computer going? if you have any hand links to guides for whatever I will need to do, i would really appreciate it.

 

thanks

Hello,

 

Yeah either move the CMOS jumper to the clear position and leave it there for 10mins, then move it back to the save position and power the pc.

 

# Or, hold the insert key down on your keyboard.

# Keep it held down and power the pc.

# Keeping it held down, wait.

# And if it posts, let go of the insert key and enter the bios.

 

What settings do you change?

made it 2-3-2-8, changed data strength, added bit more voltage to dram and few others moving from Auto to pretty lose settings.

Thanks for your tip, i will try it as soon as home and let you know if resolved.

 

thanks
