I ve tried everything mate,just cant get past the splash screen at all.

Have you had to move the "BIOS clear" or the "Safe Boot" jumpers on the mobo?

As if you have, make sure they're re-seated properly back on the standard positions. As I, like a numpty, managed to have the BIOS clear jumper only pushed on one pin........& that was stopping me booting past the flash screen. Serves me right for having my water-pump in front of where the jumpers are.

If you haven't been messing with the jumpers........do you have anything connected to the USB2.0 headers? As I had a problem not being able to boot when my Mach II was connected to the left hand USB2.0 header. Switched to the right hand one & no more boot problems.......Bizarre!

That's all I can suggest mate.

Maybe MBM5, but doubtful OCCT.

Or do you mean it was unstable when OCCT ran ?

andyr · 7 Jun 2005 at 14:24

Its uses MBM config fiels to read temps etc, this passed its 30 mins test then locked after 30mins or so.

3 days since uninstalling it and no locks + speedfan reads the temps without locks

I don't use any programme for my monitoring other that Smart Gaurdian will it work with that?

I did try clock gen last week but it wouldn't run so I uninstalled it, I'm currrently reinstalling Windows as I've messed it about rather a lot over the last week to the extent that I couldn't even get my printer to write a letter this morrning.

What I'm looking for is something that will allow me to do adjustments in windows to fine tune it a bit more

ps3ud0 · 7 Jun 2005 at 18:45

It can use MBM5, Speedfan and Asus PC Probe - Im afraid it wont read temps from Smart Guardian...

ps3ud0 :cool:

It'll work fine , but won't give you any temperature readouts. Its just a CPU stressing program- no o/clocking adjustments. But if it runs the standard 1/2 hour program fine then your'e pretty stable

I have it, sort of like Prime 95 then, do you use clock gen or some other programme to overclock in windows or do you do it the way I've been, in and out of BIOS shut down etc?

That clock gen programme did look OK but whether or not I did something wrong but it kept erroring and wouldn't open :-(

andyr · 7 Jun 2005 at 19:02

i got the occt program installed and running but how do you get the graph recording bit up and running or is that a different program :confused:

I use clockgen-I also sometimes find that the shortcut (or pinned start menu shortcut) won't open it, but it opens fine from the original application in the folder
