So,i've never been able to OC my comp, because for some reason, everytime i go into BIOS, it screws up and does a hard restart, and then tries to re power itself on. only, it fails to do so, and just hangs there, surging power every couple of secs trying to turn on..only it never does.
long story short, friend was ocing his new machine, i tried to go back in and work on mine..sameproblem. only this time, i can't seem to get it back and running in default with a cmos reset.
whenever i boot, it says cmos checksum error. if i go load, opt defaults, it'll go to try to find hard drives, and then tell me that it has no system disc. in bios, it sees all my hdds..so im really stuck.
i put in winxp cd and went to repair, and see that c: is now replaced with my third hdd, instead of my actual, sata1 first onewith the OS on it. why is it thinking backwards?
also, half the time it boots..i can't even use the keyboard.
god damn.. i knew i shouldn't have done this stuff. i already knew it was messed up from trying to do it beforre :|. no one seemed to have an answer back when i was initally having the weird power problem either.
and it runs stable as ever if i just leave it alone when it's working.. just trying to do anything in bios, which makesi itpower down for a second and try to reboot itself kills it every time. i can't get it to come back this time, ive bneen trying for like an hour or two.
any ideas?
