Hi

just upgraded my motherboard and CPU - MSI P67A-GD55 and I5 2500k. All was working well and fine. Decided to upgrade to latest BIOS 1.11 and did so via USB stick. It seemed to flash okay, then rebooted PC and went back into BIOS, all looked fine, showed BIOS 1.11. So decided to try an overclock just changed few settings, then rebooted.

Now PC won't boot. I switch it on, blank screen, get two beeps, then after few seconds PC reboots and same occurs again, blank screen, two beeps etc.

I have a USB keyboard plugged in which lights up keys this does not light up either. So I thought it might be a bad overclock. However not used to EFI bios so not sure what to do. On Award if it was a had overclock on my Gigabyte it just reset back to defaults.

Do you think my issue is either a bad overclock or bad flash ?

I tried using the CMOS reset button but this made no difference.

I looked up what two beeps might mean and I think it is "Parity failture" but not sure what this means.

Can you reflash an EFI bios if it fails ?

Or is it a case of returning it as faulty ?
 
Pull your ram out of the board and remove all the connectors coming from the PSU. And while you are at it take out your monitors cable. Then remove the battery and do a hard CMOS reset. Look in the manual if you are unsure how to do this. Leave the board unconnected to any power source with the battery out over night if possible or for at least 30 mins if you can not manage a overnight.

Only put one stick of ram in your board and boot into BIOS. All should be good. Set default fail safe settings and you should be good to go.
 
Tried all that and didnt work. Trying to send find out who to send it back to at the moment.

online store says its MSI and MSI says its online store.
