Hi all,

I purchased a new bundle from OCUK this week consisting of the following components:

Gigabyte Z68X-UD5
i5 @ 4.6
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB

It has been running perfectly since putting it together on Thursday until today. I left it a while while doing other things and it went into sleep mode. When I tried to wake it up it shut down and ever since it stays in a continuous boot cycle. It powers on for 1-2 seconds then resets itself. I get nothing on the screen etc.

Does anybody know what the problem could be or any possible fixes? Bear in mind that I can't reset the BIOS or anything as I would lose my warranty with it being a pre overclocked bundle.

Many thanks
 
Try a CMOS reset, once you have done this pop back into the BIOS and there should be a saved profile that you can reload.
 
You won't lose the warranty, only if you lose the overclocked profile, you'll lose the support for the overclock itself, not the physical goods
 
Did not read the last part, you would only loose the warranty if you update the BIOS, Ocuk save a profile in the BIOS to be on the safe side, doing a CMOS reset won't course any issues.
 
It worked! I can now get into my desktop and BIOS but can't seem to find the saved profile. This is my first Gigabyte board so can anybody point me in the right direction?
 
When in the BIOS main screen look towards the bottom it should read F12 - load BIOS from CMOS.


Cant remember exact wording.
 
Your welcome :)
