Updated Bios - Now it won't bot over 400FSB!

jongeeone · 16 Oct 2008 at 19:40

Just updated my BIOS from F7, to F13 - which solved a few niggles i was having. However, it won't boot past 400FSB now! I save to bios, it turns off, turns on, turns off, turns on and disables FSB option so its back to normal, no other settings change.

Specs are

Gigabyte GA-P965-DS3
E6300
OCZ XTc SLi PC8500
520w OCZ

Any ideas?

Thanks

Are you building up in stages. Some boards won't let you make a big leap in one go.... might have to build up to it.

Otherwise check you're other settings... as they may have returned to defaults following the flash... eg , memory, NB etc

when you have updated the BIOS makesure you clear the CMOS or it can cause issues like this

check your settings for voltages etc, might be been resetted, clearing the CMOS sounds like a good idea

just what i was going to suggest

only board i have used where this isnt the case is my current asus which has the EZflash utility [which is brilliant imo]
