I was trying to over clock my new I7 3770K since last night but failed. So I updated my bios and all my drivers and still, no luck. So I went back to the downloads page for my MB to double check that I had everything and I did. But then I spotted out the beta bios (version L2.31A) and decided to give it a try since the discription said that it was supposed to be better configurable for over clocking. So I put it on my USB and entered the bios. I went to instant flash in the bios and it immidiately found the beta file. So I clicked on it and it was updating very smooth and it had finally finished. When it finished, it said press any key to reboot now so I had pressed enter. It then turned off and then started a restart loop so I repositioned the ram and no luck. So I took all the ram out, and it turns on, but neither anything that is hooked up via USB or neither of the monitors seem to turn on. When I take out all the ram, it the computer stays on, but nothing else comes on (the keyboard, mouse, etc.) And it gives me the error 53 which means no usable memory detected. When I insert one stick of ram, it starts a restart loop and gives me the error 4F which means DXE IPL is started. I'm really frustrated and I don't know what to do. All I wanted was to over clock my CPU. Please help!!

And dont use beta bios's. They're beta for a reason.

I tried one once, it made the startup loop. Every time I turned it on, it would show the post screen, beep and restart and go round in circles.

And it never booted into windows. Flashed it with a non-beta BIOS. And it could boot into windows again

I once ran into the problem of my computer not booting up after updating the BIOS. Turns out that after the update, all the BIOS settings are reset back to stock so in order for me to remedy this problem I simply had to re-enter the Timings for my RAM again... Problem solved.
