Odie812 Posted June 18, 2004 Posted June 18, 2004 Hey everyone, Yes, I know, what I've done is stupid. Shouldn't have happened. It's what I had coming to me after tinkering with my computer too late in the night. Anyway, here's what happened: I accidently exited CMOS without turning down my FSB, so I ended up booting my XP-M at 11x250 by accident, and my Infinity didn't like that. So now I'm stuck. I took out the battery, unplugged everything, cleared CMOS all night (about 8 hours), and when I plugged it all back in, still no POST. Would this kill the board? Or is there hope?

mad mikee Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 1/31 should be okay (no funky bootup stuff like current bios (which I am of course using :nod: )) 1. do fans/etc power up ? 2. what are keyboard lites doing when you turn on PSU and then board? 3. Sometimes the board 'thinks' for a while (up to 15 secs?) b4 figuring out what to do. Have you waited that long? 4. When you keep holding/pressing the power key (assuming stuff powers up) does it power off after about 4-5 secs? 5. Try holding down reset key for 5 secs then releasing after no boot but power on. 6. Sometimes even c-a-d (3 fingers) works :shake: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odie812 Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Well, Not sure what I did, but I'm typing from my system right now! I tried a technique I read in another post where the CMOS clear setting is tripped briefly about 50 times. I did that, and then left it in the clear setting with the battery removed for a few more hours, and it booted right up! Thanks Mikee for your help. I hope I won't be back for this!
