Dear all,
I built a desktop PC and I had it running for 4 months now.
This evening, I was changing some settings in the BIOS to slow down a mild OC which I tested the whole afternoon, reducing the ratio from 42 to 36, and when I selected exit and save the system didn't manage to properly restart. After some 2 or 3 minutes, I pressed the ON/OFF swhich in the front panel and forced a restart.
Then my MB started to act in a funny way. No POST and restarting after 5 seconds and so again. I pressed again the switch and off it went. Unplugged it and waited for a few minutes, but upon the new attempt, the MB made 6 beeps and remained stuck with no video output, neither VGA nor HDMI. After various attempts, I had 3 beeps or nothing at all, I cleared the CMOS and so I managed to POST and the managed to resume also Windows.
I noticed is not the first time that my MB seems to hang for a while, especially when I try to re-start, sometimes it can take 20 or 30 seconds after the switch off to switch it back on.
Do you think I have a lemon here or was it just an unfortunate occasion earlier on?
Thanks a lot
