I followed all of the tweaks in this guide, and I figured it would not be dangerous since I have that exact same BIOS (Award F6 version 6).
When my PC boots, the lights on the CD-RW and DVD drives flash, PC light flashes....but they go in a loop and keep flashing.... PC never even goes into post, monitor is black, and pressing DEL to get into BIOS does nothing.
I can tell you all of the EXACT changes I made:
- enabled H.D.D. SMART Capability
- lowered CAS latency from 3T to 2T
- Active Precharge to Delay was lowered from 6 to 5
- DRAM RAS# to CAS# delay was lowered from 3 to 2
- DRAM RAS# precharge was lowered from 3 to 2
- AGP aperture was increased from 128 to 256
NO OTHER CHANGES WERE MADE, and the PC loaded beautifully before this.
My specs:
Windows XP Pro sp1
motherboard: Gigabyte SINXP1394
HIS ATI Radeon 9800pro 128mb Excalibur ICEQ
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (using 5.1 Logitech surround speakers)
Kingston Hyper-X PC4000 512mb RAM x 2 (total of 1024mb of RAM)
OS is installed in Seagate SATA 120gb HD
secondary HD is Western Digital standard IDE 120gb HD
I also have:
LG DVD rom drive
LITE-ON CD R+W drive 48x24x48x
My computer is 100% virus and adware free, and it has all the latest driver updates for all hardware components and BIOS.
Please help me!!
