i tried posting this earlier but did not get any reponses
i was running my system stable for 4 weeks at 141x10 but yesterday i decided to see if i could go higher so 1st i raised the multiplier to 11 and it booted but ultimately unstable then i lowered it to 9.5x150 and same results then 9x150 and did not fair any better i guess 141x10 is my sweet spot but anyways
one of the times i was one like 9.5x153 er something like that and noticed my memory timings were way of something weird like 8 6 3 2 1 1 2 1 and i was very surprised since i run at 8862222 but after that i could not get the system to post even at the old configuration of 10x141= 1410 mhz
my ram voltage was at max before and cpu was 1.97 but now it will only even post/boot up like 1 out of 7 times and i have to usually clear cmos/set FSB to 100/run at default
multiplier and any combination of the 3 things but even that does not guarantee a post
when i look at the error code i either get 1C, 07, or FF but even when it does go to FF it does not post it goes straight to FF instead of the normal boot sequence i dont recall what that is though it is something like 1A->02->27->FF or somethin like that anyway this really sucks i dont think it is the cpu cuz temps are fine and i have a thermoengine with delta. Also if it was burnt i figured i could not get it to post.
It is running at 1200 mhz at default voltages as i speak but i left it one while i go to work but i'm afraid to turn it off. I did not touch the HS so i dont think it could be a cracked core either. IMHO i believe it is either the mem or the motherboard and i'm leaning toward the motherboard.
Also i have not installed the latest bios, still running the phoenixnet one i just noticedd the new one when i went to the epox website
but can anyone explain what could have happened and if a bios flash will fix the problem?
