Hi,

I've been reading some of the posts here, and the FAQ etc.

Last night, i OC'd my rig (Asus P5N-E, Core 2 Duo E6320, 3GB Kingston DDR667) to 1600FSB, 733DDR, with 1.425v Vcore & 2.185v Vdimm.

After this it wouldn't POST. It doesnt even give me the Asus logo as usual. Normally when an OC fails after a few reboots it restores to default values and boots up so you can change settings. This isnt happening!!

I've tried turning the power off, disconnecting PSU, leaving PSU disconnected for 1hr, i then tried using the ClearCMOS jumper. None of this has worked!

Is there any way i can reset the configuration settings to default to get the board to boot again??

Thanks

Matty
 
That's normally what the cmos jumper does :P have you used the clear cmos jumped correctly?

I've had **** like you have to and magically when you leave it some time it works again :P I never know what it's doing...

Pop the battery out for a couple of hours.

Done this today, its been out since 7am untill just now. Still nothing!! :(

I've followed the instruction book exactly on how to use the ClearCMOS, its called ClearRTCRAM or something on this board, you have to take the battery out, then do the jumper, then put the battery back.

Any suggestions???

All i get is everything spin up, and the lights come on. The HD light stays on even tho they are all disconnected at the moment (all SATA). This usually goes out, then a few secs later i get video output. But it stays on, and nothing happens. Dunno if this gives any clues.

Power Supply is an Antec TruePower 480w
 
Did some swap tests last night....

CPU works fine, Graphics Card works fine :)

Im assuming the RAM works ok, as i have tested all 3 sticks individually, and i cant see all of them dying at once?

Sooooo... im pretty certain its the motherboard at fault! I've been looking into the CrashFree BIOS 2 feature, which apparently *should* restore from a problem like this? Well when i put the CD in, the CD drive spins the CD up, and does some reading, and thats about it. So it seems like there is some life there?

Ideas??
