CMOS check sum error.

[fatty35]

Hey I recently got a new EQS board and every time I overclock and save settings in bios and reset it comes up with cmos check sum error, loading default. How can I get around this problem? Thanks

maybe you have a setting it doesn't like, and is auto recovering? If not, try just re flashing the Bios with whatever the newest one is for your board.

Iv flashed with the newest bios recently but doesent seem to like it when im clocking up the ram from 667 to 800

You are over clocking the ram from 667 to 800? Did you loosen the CAS timings and such? And add a lil voltage?

yeah i put down the cas from 5 to 4

yeah i put down the cas from 5 to 4

You should lossen it to improve stability.

loosen the ram timing means changing from 4 to 5. when you "lower" it means changing from a higher number to a lower number, and this is tightening.

i think you just got it the other way round.

Yeah thanks getting a bit confused for a sec I will do that. Thanks
