Hey everyone, I recently installed a gtx 980 ti graphics card (replacing my old gtx 285), and also 6gb of extra ddr3 ram (hitting 12 total) onto my motherboard. I've read some places that after you install new parts onto your mobo you should flash the bios? You see... I didn't know this.... and after I installed the parts I was getting crazy instability issues, and so I clicked the reset cmos button and ran prime95. I kept adjusting until I could hit the 12 hr mark with no problems.
Is flashing the bios the same as resetting cmos?
Okay, so now as far as I can tell..... the PC seems stable enough. Although when playing GTA V sometimes the computer freezes, but not while playing Project cars. I'm thinking that is more software related though, I could be wrong.
Was I supposed to "flash" the motherboard? Or is that just another way of saying reset cmos?
I know it was long, and possible a stupid question, but I appreciate your help
