Hello
Im having a hard time trying to figure out how to flash my BIOS to 2.20. Ive downloaded the file but dont have a USB drive available atm the moment could I use a cd?
Hey Guys.
Ever since I updated my bios to 2.20 ive had a very annoying intermittent problem.
I'm getting complete lockups (No BSOD, just complete FREEZE, where the sound freezes and makes an odd noise) at sometimes random times, but mostly during Dota 2. I've tried doing bios tweaks and its minimised it a bit. Its still happening though.
Before updating to 2.20 I NEVER had this problem ever. I have had to lax my settings, and up voltages to try and stop the freezing. Its only lowered the amount of freeze ups I get.
I did reset CMOS after the update as recommended too.
I've got a i5-2500k overclocked to 4.6Ghz. Its at offset +0.30v (was stable at +0.20v before my bios update). That ends up being 1.366v at 4.6Ghz.
My ram i've had to put at stock settings (inc voltage at stock 1.5v) to try and stabilise it. Didn't seem to help.
Ive tried several graphics card drivers. Doesn't seem to be graphics card related. Tried stock clock speeds on my graphics card too. made no difference.
Anyone got any ideas?
Voltages:
CPU Load Line = Level 3
PCH Voltage = Auto
CPU PLL = 1.668v
VTT Voltage = 1.064v
VCCSA = Auto
I was going to update the BIOS on this board today, but my USB keyboard isn't recognised on boot so can't F2/del in to the BIOS menu.
Any ideas?
I don't have a PS2 keyboard to try.
hate this motherboard, it is horrible , errors! overclocking and booting errors everywhere! cold boot errors! awake from sleep errors! usb 3.0 keeps failing! a chip burned out on its own! i could go on!
Avoid it at all costs!
I'm being deadly serious. It is a pain in the arse. Google it, there are errors! ERRORS EVERYWHERE!!!
*ahem* did i get my point accross?
