Been throught a 3 month multiple RMA MB situation, finally got one that worked, the issue was new Bios's not working. Finally a new board worked and it was all going like a rocket for 2 days loading my software - new disks etc.
i have Been constantly checking with Intels XTU , core temps, package temps, core voltages etc. and the processor was often around 0.7 to 1.2 Ghz and 0.7 volts. Its suddenly now pretty much "current throttling" 97% to 98% and running at 3.5ghz then ramping up to 3.75 Ghz ( its max in Turbo is 3.8ghz apparently for 1 second) !
Interestingly when just watching, i.e. Just looking at XTU , it never goes over 1 core usage?
Often before, it would stay on one core, but flick up to 2 cores running for a second or two.
Utterly distraut!
Seriously about to pick the f..... Thing up and chuck £2,600 of parts in the bin!
Calmed down and tried to think what have I done recently this afternoon.
1. Connected a Pioneer Blue ray player , sata power and sata data cable.
2. looked around at the drives in Disc management.
I Assume this cant do anything to change any processor controls.
Then I realised that ai had loaded samsung Magician sw - and clicked on optimising the os performance.
At one time it said something like click here to " ...... The virtual memory"
So here is my question
Q1. Could Magician software change the bios settings?
Q2. Would reloading the Win 10 OS from scratch put it back?
Having had so many problems with this MB I have pictures of just about every screen except the CPU performance screen. Sods law eh!
Looking at the manual - that is rubbish, I can see all the settings are the same except X2APIC ( it sets support for "Advanced Programmable Interupt Controller" ?? Wtf is that?)
In this old manual, note made for Bios 1.0b it is set to Enable , and the current BIOS is now set to Disable. ? could that have changed due to the newer BIOs ? ( we are on Ver. 2.0 )
Or could magician have changed the Bios setting?
Not even sure if Magician is compliant with Windows 10 ??
Q3. One of the Bios settings is to "Set optimised defaults" so my ? Is, if Magician or the resultant instruction to Windows 10, could change a Bios setting? .... Would this option put it back?
The thought of flashing the BiOs and the nightmare that caused with the other boards scares me wittless. ( not a normal task as the me firmware does not normally take properly! )
Q4. being so scared of BiOs issues , would it be sensible to completely reload windows first wnd then if that does not work , then change that one BIOS setting back. And try it.
Any advice most welcome!
Honestly I really could not go through this nightmare again.
Thanks
