Hello...
I just built my new computer last week. I am not extremely tech savvy, I just did some research and bought some highly recommended stuff. I do not have any experience with overclocking or tweaking BIOS settings. So, everything is at stock / default settings...
I got the BSOD while playing the Crysis Demo. Windows error reporting told me this:
Consider BIOS upgrade
Microsoft is unable to determine the exact cause of this error. However, this problem was most likely caused by an error in your computer?s random access memory (RAM). RAM is the main internal storage area the computer uses to run programs and store data.
During the crash analysis, we noticed the basic input/output (BIOS) system version on this computer does not match the specifications for the central processing unit (CPU), also known as a processor, that is installed on your computer. This can occur when a newer processor is installed on an older system board or older BIOS. Using a BIOS that does not support the installed processor can result in Windows system crashes. Contact your computer manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer for an updated version of BIOS for your computer's processor.
I am using an Abit IP35 Pro, and am using the latest BIOS according to the FlashMenu updater. I've got the Intel Quad Core Q6600 CPU, and my RAM is the Corsair XMS2 DD2 800 PC6400. I have 4 x 1GB installed, but I'm using XP Pro.
Do I need to tweak some settings in the BIOS? And if so, how...?
Help?!?
Thanks!
