Hi Guys,
Unfortunately I think I know the answer to this but....
System requires me to clear the CMOS before it will post and boot. It will restart fine once I get it working, and I think it will actually boot....unless I leave it off for a while (hours).
When it does boot after a CMOS clearing, the CMOS default settings have the wrong multiplier (38 instead of 34). I have to manually fix that.
Now, it was overclocked to 38 (specs below) - or 3.8GHz for a while. But it would randomly shut down every few days, so I downclocked it. Now I wonder if it reset to 38.
PSU - not the problem.
HDD/software - Not the problem
Memory issue - possible - but unlikely
CPU - possible
MB - very possible.
Thoughts? I have been reluctant to flash it because I am paranoid it will crash during flash.
Does this sound like a borked Main Board?
Opps - forgot specs
