Slow Boot help

Skepticx · 8 Oct 2011 at 17:11

Specs:
MSI P67A-GD53 B3
8GB XMS3
2500K
OCZ 600w
At the moment i am seeing a very slow boot, the machine boots and shows a series of digits/letters at the bottom right (assuming its posting)

it keeps stalling on the code B4

Just tried to boot and it completely froze on B4, so i turned on OC Genie (to get it off my OC), rebooted and it went straight through to windows.

My current OC is 4.5GHZ at 1.350v (previous to OC Genie), this was a recent change from 4.2GHz

Anyone know why it might be doing this ?

Anyone ?

It would look like your overclock to 4.5GHz wasn't stable.

Try again.

I have used the 4.5ghz clock for a few months now, have had no problem so it seems abit off for it to be unstable now

B4 is a POST status, which is USB hot plug. Remove all USB devices, reboot and try again.

That ain't what you said originally.

Your idea of recent must be different from mine.
