computer not booting :(

I had my i5 working and stable at 4.2, I tried 4.4/6/8 with no luck at all. Put it back down to 4.2 and it doesnt boot. Returned to stock, still no luck, it just always resets after the bios logo

You cant get into the BIOS?

Reset CMOS?

lee20010 · 2 Oct 2011 at 00:54

I can get into the bios, just not past it. Reset cmos as well

Load default settings, then set the AHCI, save and exit.

Done that, also had to make the M4 drive boot drive. Just resets and resets.

FFS I thought the i5 was easy to just whack up to say 4.4/6/8 but I can even load stock lol

Ensure the CPU Max Value limit isn't set to anything except auto.

switch the PC off for a minute or two?pull the battery out, leave it out for a while, then replace and power up.

DRAM voltage/speed and timings correct for the sticks?

Try one ram stick at a time.

lee20010 · 2 Oct 2011 at 01:16

Voltage is, tried ram sticks too mate

stulid · 2 Oct 2011 at 01:20

No lose cables? SATA cables etc.

Get the hammer out

I heard somewhere that you can do something to your motherboard to restore it to factory settings other than doing a CMOS reset. I don't know how though

Nothing has changed, all I did was after running 4.2 for a while. Reset the pc, put it up to x44 and tried. Kinda confused....I dont wanna reinstall windows a 3rd time. Im sure its not an OS issue

Remove the CPU from the board and the cmos batt

lee20010 · 2 Oct 2011 at 01:37

What would moving the cpu do. Took me ages to set the H100 up...dont really want to move the cpu

scottmuir424 · 2 Oct 2011 at 01:41

do you have a spare hdd to try as if your doing a fresh install but dont complete to see what happens just if it will allow you to do so if it does then something has happened to you OS on your ssd

I have had this kind of thing before and removed the CPU and Batt and then the system would boot, but would not boot if just removing the Batt for awhile, not sure why but it has worked for me

as said previously,get the hammer out

lee20010 · 2 Oct 2011 at 09:48
