Pc doesn't boot after overclock try NEEEED HELP

Once you clear the CMOS you should be good, if you press the button and It still wont boot then you need a new battery..... 5 dollars should fix the issue.

SUP SUP!! I want some of that ReD Kool-aid!!!!!

Yes but my Problem is I don't know how to clear the Cmos.

Do I just have to push the button while the elecricity is flowing through the system?

I assume that with red button you mean the button on which its written: clear cmos... should i turn on the power supply before doing that?

LOL... sorry, i was going to elaborate but then i accedntally hit submit and i just thought
"what the hell, he will understand"
But i used to reset my mobo with the power still on...

But yeah, i would do it with the power supply unplugged

Usually turn my PC off and leave the PSU plugged in. I don't think you should do it while its on

It really sucks when something goes wrong and you have to write the text again, happens much to often.

On my old Pc I had a Asus motherboard and after a overclock failure I just had to turn of the elecricity for 30 secs and it automatically reset the bios to default.

Now I'm asking myself if I set a to high fsb on the Gigabyte 790 fxt would it also somehow reckognize the problem and boot with normal fsb?

I think a cmos clear wouldn't help there because it doesn't change things like fsb. (right?)

When I buy a motherboard and cpu that i have never worked with before I make sure I write everything down to avoid having to play with the Bios for hours....Another thing you can do is use your Windows "notepad" and save it to your documents.

It's depressing how few people realise that.

Try, connecting the CPU fan (4pin) on another pc... If it still wont spin then you have a dead fan, if it does spin then you either connected it wrong (backwards) on your current mobo or broke a pin (fan header).

Btw : dont worry about the fan not spining (heatsink) if you just want to get to the bios, but if it does not spin when you boot you will achieve nothing in the bios. Just try the heatsink fan on another motherboard and make sure you connect it to the 4 pin motherboard header like I stated above.

THANK YOU! I was to afraid even to let the system come to the bios
Ovrclkr said there's no danger so I went into the bios and disabled smart fan and now the fan is turning at 100%!

As I've seen in the Bios the cooler wthout the fan was already cooling the Processor to 30C (only Bios reading) so the Mobo turned out the fan because it wasn't needed!

Never underestimate a xigmatec hdt-s 1283

One more question. Last time I tried to activate the 4th core the system wouldn't even boot anymore (that's why I originally opened the thread) do you think I should later on try activating the 4th core again, just with a higher Vcore and the better cooling I have now?

We aim to please. Accuracy costs extra.

I don't know too much about the Phenoms, but you can try activating the fourth core using a higher Vcore. The fourth core on the Phenom X3s are disabled mostly because they need a higher voltage to run at the same spec as the other three cores, or because there's an actual fault that got picked up in manufacturing. Yours could be either, so give it a try.

That may be true but it works fine for note-taking so I guess that post was useless......I understand, when boredom comes around you just have to type something......

Do you work for a PRINTER company?

whatever, works great for note-taking though

LOL

I've found out that I have Bios version F5 and there's another version (released 1 day later) that I would like to upgrade to (often read that unlocking cores works great with that bios).

I loaded system defaults in the Bios and enabeled legacy usb (it actually was already)

I loaded the newer bios version on a Usb stick which I plugged into the motherboard usb connectors and entered qflash after a reboot.

I disabled Keep Dmi Data and searched for the flash drive in Q-flash

It only showed me 2 flopys (I have non) and when I browsed them non of them contained the bios.

I've tried the same thing with another Usb, and I also formated the Usb for fat 32 or fat (16bit) nothing helped.

I do not have a floppy and do not want one. how should I upgrade my Bios? please help me once more

Kind regards Erdinger

Could you please divert the discuscion from asses to Bios flashing?
Or best would be to combine the two topics... tell someone that hes an ass AAAND help me in the same post

The file(bios) I download is an Exe I don't have to run in in windows just copy onto the usb stick right?

OK now I feel like a moron.

I just opened the exe and put the containing files to the usb stick....

Now I was able to update the bios...

I was reading more then 45 minutes about flashing the bios..

I read several step by step instructions but there was never written to try and start the file I've downloaded ^^ it must be to clear..

I suck

Erdinger

Ps: how can u flash from windows with Q-flash?

Yes the Exe file is the file I've downloaded from the Gygabite page.

Then after some hours I've seen that it is an exe launched it (from within a usb stick I had transfered it to) and put the data it contained onto the Usb stick from which I was then able to update the Bios via Q-flash (when booting)

I tried again to unlock the 4th core with increased Vcore (0.5 Volt) and increased Nb Vdd but it just wouldn't help so I gave up on the 4th core.
