i went into bios and set up for a overclock,190 fsb,1.75 vcore and 6/6 memory ratio,which is what i've used before and ran stable,after a saved and rebooted the computer started beeping and the cds just flashed,just long beeeeps over and over again.i reset the cmos went back in but it still does it,sometimes it will boot and in the bios it says 10x100 under what its running at,and went it went threw post i got a error about now i rebooted again and its just beeping.

i cleared the cmos again and got it to boot but now it wont load windows and says i need to do a repair,reboot,now its slowly counting the memory,it stops at 200+k,click esc to bypass,booted to windows cd,now its just been a blank screen for 5mins,rebooting,counting the memory again,gets to 60k,windows,says something about checking systems and doesnt go anywhere.turned the power back off and on,now its beeping again

What's the rating of your ram? PC3200 or better? If it's something like PC2700, it may be having a hissy fit doing 190FSB, although I'd think OCZ stuff should be able to handle that. Give your RAM a little more voltage, relax the timings a bit, and give that a try. If that doesn't work, maybe one of your sticks borked somehow in the process. Take one out and try it alone, then try the other.

Now you said you had run at 190FSB before...was this with the same chip you are having the issue with? if you had done it with another chip, chances are your 2500+ can't handle it. My old non mobile 2500+ couldn't go past 185FSB until I juiced it up.

I would try different ram.

This same thing happened with the beeps when I had a bad Ram configuration.

The long beeps are an indication that your memory can not operate at the current speed. Your memory might have just died on you, it happens.

ok,i took out the ram and put them each in alone,first one beeped,the next one booted and even went to windows,but now when it boots it slowly counts the memory over and over again unless you press esc and when i get to windows it wants me to install raid drivers but i dont have a raid harddrive,using the same ata133 drive.

so what happend?my ram strip just blew up?i didnt change the voltage to the ram,just the vcore,did it overrun to the ram?

Sounds like you just forgot to go in and adjust your bios settings to where you had them before you cleared cmos - that's why the memory test is taking so long and you must have a setting for your drives that is set to raid when it shouldn't be. And yep, sounds like one of your mem modules has gone belly-up. Hopefully it's still under warranty and you can get it rma'd. Good luck!

"Oh my god", PostCountIsLife!


Got a problem with the title of this thread ??

Forget what forum you were on ??

Maybe thought you were on HardOCP ??


Consider following 'tylerhskate's' example of an appropriate response;

"i had this error too and i almost sh*t my pants......."

Since you can now get into Windows, boot to DOS and flash your BIOS!!! That will probably solve whatever is wrong here. Someone else suggested it earlier; I'm surprised you haven't done it yet. :beer:
