Hi all,
Although this is my first post to the forum, I have previously found this the best place to find information about all things computer related, and now have a question of my own to ask!
I recently bought an overclocked bundle from OcUK, (Intel Dual Core E5300 @ 3.2ghz, Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G, 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 Ram) when it arrived everything installed correctly but the following events have since occurred:
1. Upon initially booting, I received the error beeps signalling a power error.
2. The computer then rebooted, giving the same error beeps upon startup.
3. After it's next reboot, the PC booted fine, however, when checking in Win, I noticed no overclock, the processor was running at 1.2ghz idle (throttled).
4. Upon checking into the MB Intelligent Tweaker, in the BIOS, I receive a message stating that the bootup failed with these settings.
5. I put this down to my PSU (due to beep code), which was an old 500W cheap thing.
6. Saved up and bought an OcZ ModXStream-Pro 600W modular PSU, however, still receive the same error beeps when BIOS tries to apply the MB Intelligent Tweaker settings.
A little more info on the problem... I receive the error beeps when I make ANY change to BIOS, even if it's just the boot drive order, I presume that the overclock settings just try and apply themselves whenever BIOS is changed??.
I have read the manual for the motherboard, and see an option to "restore to factory optimised defaults" and was wondering if this is what I should do?
Having bought the parts already overclocked, I haven't changed any settings at all, and am just very confused as to why it still gives me the "power error" beeps, even with my new good quality PSU.
PC Components:
OcZ ModXStream-Pro 600W PSU
Intel E5300 / Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G
4GB Kingston HyperX DDR2
Arctic Freezer Pro 7 cooler
8800 GT
2x SATA hard disks
1x DVD-RW drive
Any help would be most appreciated.
