I was running Intel Burn Test at 3.8Ghz on my c0 i7 and GA-X58-UD5 and blue-screened... fine... reboot.
Then for about 20-restart's I couldn't enter the bios for some reason.
Then when it starts windows 7, It get's just past the welcome screen, and the whole screen is black apart from the white text in the bottom corner that says the build & evaluation copy etc.
I clear the CMOS and reboot AGAIN and finally get into the bios to switch the SATA mode back to RAID so I could try to boot up at stock speeds.

Basically, now I can boot-up in safe mode... and that is all.
There are no LED's lit up on the board, and if I try to boot into windows, it gets stuck at the welcome screen indefinatly.

If I've killed the mobo or RAM, how can I still boot into safe-mode?
If not... how do I fix this?
 
Okay.... So I used a System Restore Point, and was able to boot back into windows and everything worked seemingly okay.
I restarted the PC to see if I could enter the BIOS and change some settings, but low and behold, once again, I could not enter the BIOS.
It doesn't seem to matter how many times I try, but I cannot enter the BIOS.
What's odd is, The Gigabyte splash screen, only lasts for about a single second. Whereas usually it'd last around 10 seconds - and I'd be able to enter the BIOS.

Anyway, BIOS aside, it then proceeded to get stuck at the welcome screen again.
Meaning I am now BACK in safe-mode, and again, unable to boot into windows.
Unless I use another system restore point, in which case, it will do the same thing again anyway.
 
No idea what version of BIOS. No keys stuck. I'll go try a different USB socket, I just clicked install all on the gugabyte drivers disk.
 
I dont have a PS/2 keyboard so cant really try that.
But another thing I have noticed is that on startup there is a short period of time where the backlight on my keyboard and mouse turns off, so it looks like the mouse and keyboard are not turned on...
Could this be why?
If so... what do I do?
 
I'll give it a go.
I did before, but it didnt seem to help. At least I can access the OS now.

So do I turn PC off, then clear CMOS, then remove battery, wait, replace, turn on?

Whats the process?
