Help!!! Changed RAM timings and now I cant post.

[Zensal]

I tightened my RAM timings and now my computer won't post. I reset the CMOS using the jumper, and i took out the battery. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jut tell me what you need.

reset the CMOS for a good long time, unless you also touched any hardware, in which case take it out and reseat it, that really should do the trick.

Dang you guys are fast.

Define long time. 2 minutes? 20 minutes? 2 hours?

Unplug the thing from the wall. Take out the battery for a couple minutes and try again.

Also unplug the ram while you are at it and perform all of the above steps again. Make sure you reset the cmos for 10 seconds or it might not reset. Keep pressing Delete (and/or Insert) to force the mobo into the BIOS at boot up. Often the motherboard will reset to previous configuration using this method.

Loki: Took the battery out for about 5 minutes and had the power plug out. Still no post.

RussianSensation: I can't get far enough to get into the bios.

what kind of ram and what did you set timings to?

what vdimm?

 

[Zensal]

2x512 Kingston HyperX PC3200 2-3-2-6-1. I was trying to see how high I could go on those timings. Never had this problem OC'ing anything before. Vdimm is stock(2.5 or 2.6 i think)

 

[btbam]

thats very unusual, and odd timings there...

that hyperx 3200 supposedly has bh5 you could tighten a little better then that lotto game u got going.

As far as helping you, it doesntmake since why your pc wont boot, vdimm low, timings not bad..

maybe test one stick at a time in each slot, and are you hearing any beeps or just fans running and a black screen?

 

[Zensal]

Just the fans and that ugly black screen.

 

[btbam]

yes, test each stick of ram individually.

Ive seen one stick bad and pc not boot, take bad out and pc boots, leave bad in alone and pc beeps...

test on man
