Of fixing something thats been bothering you for ages, gotta love it.

Today I fixed some very annoying issues that have been bothering me for a few weeks, but I was too lazy to attempt fixing them.

Well yesterday I sat down opened the ole PC and fixed the following.

- Why the BIOs was resetting itself / refusing to boot sometimes upon power on.
- Why my processor wouldn't keep it's overclock in Windows (kept resetting to 200 fsb)
- Fixed all my lights

Thats very nice and all, but it might help other people, if you told us how you fixed these problems.

LOL Jimbo

Yeah so Luke how did you fix your boot/bios problems?

Heh well for the processor issue it was very simple and just my own stupid error.

I recently put in another 1 gig of ram and I before was running my 1 gig at 333 Mhz, of course putting the 2 gig in meant I should have lowered the divider, instead of running at 333 they were running at around 440 or so = overclock not possible >_<

The BIOs not booting was related to the incorrect Ram settings (and I believe my Battery was gone possibly also)

After changing the ram settings correctly so my processor was running overclocked again both problems seem to be fixed.

Guess it's just a reminder, always check your ram speeds if you put another gig in, I probably went around 3 weeks where my A64 was running at 1.8 Ghz instead of 2.5.
