HELP

[Krypt]

I have a 2400+ on a MSI K7N2-L motherboard. I had never over clocked, and I went to my bios and changed my FSB to 166 from the stock 133 without changing anything else. Now it wont even boot the bios screen so I can change it back. Does anybody have any suggestions? I really really need your help! Thanks

Flash the bios. Look in the manual for the motherboard. In the jumper section look for jcmos or similar. Or take the bios battery out for a few hours then put it back in. Everthing will be at default settings. One question, are you using 333 memory ???

Hi! what you should do is to clear (reset) the c-mos. This is usually done by setting a jumper on the Mobo. One word of advise though, the computer must be shutdown (off) while you are doing this.
1. Make sure that the computer is powered down
2. Find the right jumper (look in your manual)
3. set it to "clear cmos"
4. set the jumper back in its original position
5. Power up.

Now you should be able to get into the BIOS, which by now has all its values set to "default". Make the optimum settings for each item, save and exit. If you still wan't to OC raise the FSB a couple of steps every time, i. e. from 133 to 135 and so on.

PS you don't have to flash your bios, thats a completely different thing.

Ive been a gigabyte user for 2 years, these boards have 2 bios' so when 1 fails the other "flashes" the main one, so confusing hehe.

Hi! Well I thought the flash from bios 1 to bios 2 was done if the bios got corrupt and that you still made a "ordinary" "cmos clear" in other cases? But ofcourse I could be wrong anyhow, isnt a "clear cmos" what he should do?
