Hi guys, I gone done and goofed and now I need to grovel at the altar of the OC forum experts to see if any of you know a way out of my predicament!
So long story short, I upgraded to Windows 10 and installed everything, install went perfectly and I finished installing all my apps, so far so good. Once I had all my ducks in a row I decided to get overclocking; now I'm running x58 hardware here, motherboard is a G1 Guerrilla and processor is a xeon 5650. Overclocking went well, got to 3.8ghz stable but was having some stability issues pushing for the magic 4.0 so in order to be sensible I decided I'd go back to fail safe defaults in the BIOS and begin from scratch as I'd got myself tied up in knots. From there the excrement contacted the fan.
Essentially what I think has happened is the fail safe defaults were somehow linked to a windows 7 BIOS setting and when I reset windows gave me 0xc:0000428 : \windows\system32\winload.exe Windows cannot verify digital signature for this file.
Since it's a new install I (stupidly) have not yet made a recovery disk and to be honest had absolutely zero idea that a simple BIOS reset could make the file magically corrupt, or even that the BIOS was that inextricably linked to the os! Being x58 I believe I can't override digital signature verification through the BIOS and cannot enter windows 10 or even my old windows 7 install.
So.. Anyone got any ideas because the idea of reinstalling windows 7 and doing all the updates, downloads and reinstalls fills me with dread. Also, hoping against hopes here, anyone with a G1 Guerrilla running windows 10 want to send me a windows 10 recovery disk over dropbox?!
Hoping you can help me, cheers guys!
