Issue with overclockers bundle

Bonehunter · 15 Nov 2012 at 20:32

Hi guys, just posted this in CS but not sure how long they take to reply?

Anyone have a quick fix for me please?

Hi,

I purchased and overclockers bundle from you and it's been working fine.

I just had to do a fresh install of windows 8 and it reset the overclock. I went into the BIOS and loaded profile 1, saved and exited and now it won't boot. The PC won't get as far as the bios screen so I can reset, it just powers up for a money and then reboots - how do I reset the bios please?

Can't see any button or anything on the MB to reset.

Thanks

By the way it's a msi z77a-g21

I'm not sure it has one

Bonehunter · 15 Nov 2012 at 21:33

I found it, thanks - was underneath the graphics card

I used the msi bios updating utility as well earlier, I'm sure it booted after that but can't remember for sure - hope the bios isn't screwed

Nope, that hasn't worked, took it out for about 10 minutes

Well it booted afterwards, it had to to get me to the bios screen to load the pre installed profile 1 overclock (it had lost this after I installed windows 8).

I chose profile 1, save and reboot and have had this issue since.....

Could be the case, wouldn't removing the CMOS batt reset that tho?

Yeh that's what I'm gonna do. Also raised a ticket, luckily there is a 24 month warranty with the bundle but its a bit of a ball ache.

Bonehunter · 15 Nov 2012 at 22:25

Ok, will give that a go chap, thanks. I have also used the jumper to clear the CMOS and that didn't help either

Can't even get to the bios guys, it doesn't get that far. Just boots up and shuts down, boots up and shuts down.

I put my old mobo in and booted that up, worked fine so not a PSU issue or anything like that (old mobo is a striker !! with a Q6600 and 9840GTX.

Funny thing is tho I tried my GTX480 on that board and it won't work, so I put the new Mobo back in with the 9840GTX and still won't boot (can't even get to BIOS).

The new Mobo also has onboard graphics so plugged my monitor into that and it won't work.

So....looks like the new mobo and graphics card are screwed....all a bit wierd if you ask me....it all happened when I tried to load the profile 1 that came with the board.....

If he cant get into the bios then he cant change these settings

Yes, thats the problem. It's very strange that the graphics card won't work on my old board though.....if you have an issue with a mobo is it usual for it to kill the graphics card as well?.....
