Hello everyone,
I've been lurking for a while, since I've been doing some research for OCing my system, but just decided to sign up since I hit my first snag.
I've been playing around with my BIOS and was able to get my system to be stable at 3.5Mhz, with nice temperatures. However, once I tried pushing my settings further (no matter what Vcore I used) it would not boot the system. All I would get is a black screen with a flashing underscore.
I was testing ways to fix my problem, when I discovered that if I pressed Del at the right time, it would go past the black screen and boot it. Using this I was able to go to a further OC. My problem is though, every time I boot my system, I have to press Del at a specific time for it to boot. How would I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
plue
tl;dr: System will not boot past a certain OC unless I hit Del key at a specific time.
System:
i7 920 (d0 stepping)
Evga x58 mobo
12 GB RAM (OCZ 1600)
Corsair H50 Cooler
