    BIOS re-flash gone bad, need expert help.

    Ok so I pulled out the BIOS just for the hell of it, and fired it up. The comp powers up for about 5 or so seconds and then just shuts off, same as when then BIOS is in. Mite this mean the motherboard is fried? I don't want to pay for a new BIOS chip just to find out it wasnt the problem! =)

    Right as the computer is autoruning the file to recover the BIOS, the computer powers down every time!

    BIOS re-flash gone bad, need expert help.

    Ya, that?s another thing it was over clocked when I did the reflash.... =/ Also, if I had the back up disc it wouldn?t do much good it doesn?t even get to the post screen and when it is checking the disc drives it just powers down. The BIOS chip does LOOK removable but I don't know for...

    BIOS re-flash gone bad, need expert help.

    My MSI K8N Neo nForce 3 mobo was running extremely high voltage even when it was set low. So I used the MSI Live Update to re-flash my BIOS, it got an error (which I cannot remember) but still kept going. After it was done the computer worked fine so I waited a few minutes and restarted the...

    Need a gaming Laptop, please drop some info on me.

    I have heard of flashing the bios of the dell 9300 and installing the 7800 graphic card to basicly make it an XPS. How hard is this to do?

    Need a gaming Laptop, please drop some info on me.

    I am looking for a good gaming laptop, I would like it to be AMD, have a 6800 or 7800 PCI-E card, and have a GIG of ram. So far all that I have liked is the Acer Ferrari but it doesnt have the high end graphics card I am looking for. I would like to stay under a 2k price tag as well, TIA for...

    What AGP card should I get?

    anyone? Still not sure what a 6800nu is, and if a 128mb 6800 or 6600 will perform alot better than my 256mb FX5700LE. TIA

    What AGP card should I get?

    I am running a GeForce FX 5700LE 256mb right now, If I were to go the cheaper route (6600gt or x800gto) would I notice a big diference over my current card? Also what is the 6800nu? All I know of is the GT, and Ultra. What ever I get I want it to be 256mb, I see alot of 6800GT AGP's that...

    What AGP card should I get?

    I am looking to upgrade my video card but I want to stay 8x APG so I don?t have to upgrade my mobo. I want to stay in the $250 range, I wanted to go with the GeForce 6800 GT but it seems all the ones priced around my range are out of stock. I was also thinking about the x800 xl but it is...

    Can't figure out how to overclock memory on my MSI K8N Neo.

    I recently noticed an option that says somthing to the effect of limiting the ram speed. Is this what I would use to divide the ram? Set the ram "limiter" to 166 so when I oc the FSB the ram is going up from 166? TIA

    Can't figure out how to overclock memory on my MSI K8N Neo.

    Ok so I couldn?t find any option to divide the ram, I just updated my bios to 1.9 and still nothing. Do I not understand correctly? I was thinking there would be option to do FSB X (what ever divider) for the ram? Also ClockGen has the "clock" part grayed out for me, I read on the site to set...

    Can't figure out how to overclock memory on my MSI K8N Neo.

    I am planning to get some DDR500 that runs at 2-2-2 for my next comp, will using a divider on the ram slow the computer/ram down at all?

    Can't figure out how to overclock memory on my MSI K8N Neo.

    Oh ok, so I need to drop the memory ratio divider. If I had higher ram (ddr500) I could just throw up the FSB and have no problems?

    Can't figure out how to overclock memory on my MSI K8N Neo.

    Also my MSI mobo has "Dynamic Overclocking" which has different settings that I can select where it automatically overclocks the CPU when it is running at full load. It has settings from 1%-11% but when I enable this, the computer will not even boot and I have to reset the BIOS using the pins.

    Can't figure out how to overclock memory on my MSI K8N Neo.

    ***Sorry for the newb question!*** I have read alot of over clocking guides and from what I understand to raise your FSB your need to raise your RAM as well (I have a gig of Kingston hyper-x pc3200 ram.) Now when I go into the bios I do not see any option for raising RAM. I have bumped up the...
