Can't load past bios screen

Tackle_Berry · 15 Feb 2013 at 22:45

Hi, hope someone can help I turned my system on and within 2mins on the desktop it froze, so I turned it off and on reboot it shows the gigabyte bios screen but can't actually get into the bios so pressing f12 etc doesn't do anything. So far I tried removing power cable and MB battery and leaving in 10min, one stick of memory on both sticks and also removed GPU and used MB display output but still nothing works. System is:

2500k OC to 4.6 with a Noctua
2x4GB hyperx 1600
Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P
Gigabyte 670 Windforce
Corsair HX850w

It was a Ocuk bundle so was stress tested at 4.6 and overclocked by them but it is now a few months out of warranty.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

EDIT: forgot to say if I leaved it on the bios splash screen for around 2-3min it eventually has a big line that runs through it horizontally and then goes pixelated.

You tried tapping "del" to get into bios? That's the usual Gigabyte way.

Yeah, doesn't do anything.

try plugging your keyboard into different usb slots,if its ps2 keyboard then idk what to suggest

also try a longer cmos clear,leave battery out for a good 30minutes

Yeah i had a bad overclock fail on my last mobo and it wouldnt post, tried leaving the battery out for 30 mins and didnt work, so i took it back out and left it over night, and it posted in the morning. No idea why it took so long to clear.

Left the battery out overnight and still not working. Any more ideas?

Try unplugging your graphics card, using 1 stick of RAM and unplug unnecessary peripherals and hard drives.

Any HDD activity or Is the HDD LED constantly lit? This could be signs of a failing drive. Try pressing Esc once switched on this should give a list of where its at in its POST and may give you a clue as to what its struggling with.

Don't they now put the clear CMOS jumper on the boards? :confused:

Thanks for all the help, still not working so called Ocuk they said send it back as a bundle and they will take a look. They said sounds like motherboard is probably broke.

TBH that had crossed my mind, but not really all that PC savvy and didn't like to say.
