Clear CMOS, change the dimm slots around. And reset your bios to factory default

IvyBridgeHP :

Find the flat round battery on your motherboard, and pop it out for about 5 min and put it back in

Take out the battery for a minute or two , then reinsert.

usually on the motherboard theres a small coin battery. I usually just unplug the computer and remove the battery for 1 minute and put it back in then reboot.

Not sure if theres other new ways

I did that before, nothing I can make a picture of my cmos inside the motherboard and give you the hp instructions... and you can try to guide me. I mean I have cmos jumper on my motherboard and I also have the battery

Try using the jumper, im not sure how it will work if removing the cmos dosent do anything but its worth a shot

IvyBridgeHP · Feb 9, 2016

I removed the battery for 5 minutes then I plug it back then I plugged back the power and turn it on... still the same

IvyBridgeHP :

I'm not sure how downclocking the ram could cause the problem your having. The utility you used is most likely not for oem boards but to cause this much of a problem seems something else is wrong. leave the cmos battery out plug the pc in and power on without cmos battery installed. Remove all but on stick of ram when unplugged from power.

svan71 :

I did it, I removed all the rams and the pc started to beep, without battery and only one ram slot still nothing

svan71 · Feb 9, 2016

Leave out cmos leave unplugged for 30 min put evertyhing back and try it. If no good your board might be shot.

USB ports don't work with my wireless mouse and keyboard but my extrenal hdd turns it's leda on, so I hope it's not a fried motherboard

IvyBridgeHP · Feb 9, 2016

svan71 :

But my usb ports work with my external hdd but not with my wireless mouse and keyboard does this mean my motherboard is death?

svan71 · Feb 9, 2016

the fact it powers your usb devices does not mean it's not dead.

IvyBridgeHP · Feb 10, 2016

svan71 :

Wait now I remembered I changed the first timing of the ram, first it was 11 then I putted it at 9 and then back to 11... after that the pc gone wild

KLawinger · Feb 10, 2016

Have you tried changing the dimms around?

IvyBridgeHP · Feb 10, 2016

KLawinger :

Dimms means?

KLawinger · Feb 10, 2016

IvyBridgeHP :

Move the sticks of ram into different slots, try booting with just 1 ram in the first slot and then if it dosent work try all the slots at different times

IvyBridgeHP · Feb 10, 2016

Well it's not in my house anymore , I give it to people that understand. From what they said it looks like the motherboard or the ram sticks are fried... today they will let me know what got fried and how much will cost the repair

IvyBridgeHP · Feb 10, 2016

KLawinger :

When intel xtrme tuning asked me to reboot, I said yes the pc turned off and the sound it did it was like forced shutdown then it restarted without any monitor signal... this stuff is so weird

svan71 · Feb 10, 2016

who did you take it too? I doubt the board and ram failed. The cmos ship could be fried. Whats the make / model of the computer.

It's a HP Envy h8-1400el
