Hello there,
I recently bought a new PC (lets say 2+ weeks ago) and its still not running :|
After alot of failures in Memtest86+, I found out my CPU wasn't supported by the current bios version (F3). I downloaded the latest version (F5) and flashed the BIOS via Q-flash.
I configured all settings for the ram, and let the CPU work at 3 GHz (21 BLCK's of 143 instead of 133).
I managed to run memtest for about 9 hours, resulting in 12 passes and "1" error.
The current problem I have is that after each time i shutdown my PC for like 15+ min (might be less), I can't startup anymore...
This is caused because the Motherboard has dual BIOS, and the backup BIOS still has version F3 on it!!! while the main one has F5... Once I go to the BIOS, I get this screen saying:
After saving the settings in the BIOS (I dont have to change anything, cuz the data is still there) and restarting, it works all fine....
In 2 other topics here I found how I should "flash" the backup BIOS:
- First flash the main bios with Q-flash.
- Restart and go to the BIOS to "Load Optimized Defaults".
- Restart the PC and Load windows. (the backup BIOS should be flashed with the main BIOS b4 starting windows)
The only problem: it doesn't flash the backup BIOS...
I also tried it without the loading of optimized defaults, but still not working....
What should i do???
JB
p.s. I found out too late I should do all these stepps, so once I repeated it to flash the Backup BIOS, I already had the F5 in the main, and flashed it again with a new copy of F5, could that be the problem ?
