Hello,
I'm having a real headache with this board. I have been trying some oc tweaks to my X4 940 cpu and everything was going fine. Suddenly after a reboot the bios wont start just a black screen and the lcd monitor not firing up. I then clear the cmos and the PC starts. This is where it gets annoying I get the option of continuing the boot F1 or loading last good configuration if I try any of these options apart from continue the bios will just not fire up. Once I hit continue the PC boots fine into windows and is perfectly stable. So essentially I cannot touch any bios settings now as the thing wont boot after saving?
