[jeromeblade]

CPU - i74790k
GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4gb 256Bit
RAM - Kingston Single 8GB 2133
PSU - Corsair Platinum 860 Watts
Motherboard - Maximus Hero VII
SSD - Transcend 128GB
HDD - Seagate 1TB

Newly Bought PC 2-3 Weeks Working then yesterday its not working fine cannot boot normally when i use restart command in windows 7

Beep Codes:
1 long beep then 3 short beeps - Video Card Not Detected
4 short beeps - Hardware component failure

I got a problem when i accidentally modify the settings in Dual Intelligent Processor 5 AKA "Al Suite III" of ASUS Software.

The story was I hear some noise in the PC i think the sound of the fans , then i check the Monitoring software "Al Suite III" it displays quite good temperature
CPU 32-35 Celcius, Motherboard 27-28 Celcius and GPU is cool at 24 Celcius then i discovered in the monitoring tool that the frequency is overclocked i got panic because i want to stay at stock speed which is 4000GHZ but It display 4400GHZ but the temperature is still in good shape 35-37Celcius even im using stock HEATSINK of INTEL , then i got panic i turned off all services include microsoft services and startup applications then i carelessly modified the Dual Intelligent Processor 5 aka Al Suite III i change something in the TPU i think i modify one of the cores there and set the ratio to 41 and forgot everything there. i discovered that the culprit is the POWER OPTIONS in CONTROL PANEL i change the HIGH Performance mode to balanced mode then after that it runs 800mhz in all cores but i did not set up back the TPU settings back to original form because i cant remember. how to fix the problem can i uninstall the Dual Intelligent Processor 5 "Al Suite III"? so the settings in the bios will be the one to get function not the software? first of all i did not change anything in the bios "EXTREME TWEAKER" i just only change the boot up setting for installation of windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

thank you very much and sorry for my bad grammar.

Well if you changed settings under tpu then just go back to it and click on the default button and see if it clears up the problem.

You should be fine, Don't change stuff till you understand it(like in AI suiet III), come here and ask how and to what.
The 4400 may have been with turbo mode, or the software was auto overclocking. If it will not boot, check the SATA settings in the BIOS. If you have only the one drive I assume its set to ACHI.
as long as you can get in the bios your fine, that board has dual bios so....

i discovered that the culprit is the POWER OPTIONS in CONTROL PANEL i change the HIGH Performance mode to balanced mode then after that it runs 800mhz in all cores but i did not set up back the TPU settings back to original form because i cant remember.

The "high performance" mode basically turns off all the power saving features and runs the CPU at its maximum turbo frequency of 4.4 GHz at all times. That is not considered an overclock, it's within standard Intel parameters.

The "balanced" mode enables power saving features, so the clock speed will change in response to system load. Sitting at 800 MHz when you're not doing anything intensive is normal, and saves power. It will ramp up to 4.4 GHz when you ask the CPU to do some work.

What code does the qcode led show when you try to boot? Is there a particular code that it halts on? This will give you an idea of what is causing the system boot failure. What bios are you using? I run 2702 which is the most current version and if you're not familiar with flashing the board I would take a few minutes to read the manual and understand the process before attempting to do it so you don't make things even worse.
