After running Prime95 on default settings I had a little trouble at first changing settings in BIOS from AUTO because the system didn't post. However, after some guidance from profJim I̶ ̶m̶a̶n̶u̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶c̶h̶a̶n̶g̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶F̶S̶B̶ ̶S̶t̶r̶a̶p̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶3̶3̶3̶M̶H̶z̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶m̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶f̶i̶x̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶s̶u̶e̶ Apparently even though I was able to boot into windows once, but after that it failed to post. I am also still getting this weird message during the boot process that says "BIOS update recommended. To unleash this CPU's full power, please perform BIOS update process." I was under the impression that my BIOS version was Ket's 5th Anniversary FINAL modded BIOS, which appears to be the latest one for the LGA 771/775 mod. I'm wondering if there's a way to disable this message. The BIOS version link above points to my actual .ROM file in dropbox.
If you see anything I'm doing wrong or you have any advice for me going forward, please let me know.
---------------------------
So I narrowed the problem down the the Transaction Booster. I had it set to manual and it defaulted to [5], but I know that I've set it to [10] before and had the same issue. For some reason even touching this causes the system to fail. I changed all other values as normal and this is the only option that caused the computer not to boot when changed. Not sure exactly why but for now I will leave it on AUTO and proceed with a minor overclock stress test.
