I am stuck at the post message! Let me give you my problem and maybe you or someone else has a fix for me. When trying to boot, I get to the screen that says ASUS and has the options of hitting delete to enter bios or hitting tab to enter post message or just hit nothing and it normally goes to windows. The problem is that it just sits at this screen now...I try to hit delete or tab and I get no response. after about 30-60 seconds my keyboard doesnt respond to me, i.e. the caps lock wont change, num lock either.
Here is the background and why I believe I am in this situation...I have a Q6600 G0 revision and ASUS P5N-E SLI mobo using zalman 9500. Two weeks ago I used my AI overclock feature and slowly bumped it up to 20%. This feature uses the mobo's manufacturers own settings, all I do is enter 20% and it does the rest. So here I am running at 2.88GHz with multi of 9 and everything seems fine but im not satisfied. I want to do a manual and oc it to 3GHz so I set everything back to factory 2.4GHz and leave it alone until I could do some reading. Last night I followed this guide ---> http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2057083&enterthread=y
and first went to 2.45GHz. Again, I followed the guide and left voltages to auto and tried to do everything else mentioned for the mean time. I then went to 2.6GHz using fsb:ram 1:1, multi of 9X (although my bios allows me to make this higher) right now. Everything seems fine at this point. I believe my mistake happens because I upped my fsb in too big of a step. I went from 2.6GHz and attempted to go to 3GHz directly so I upped my fsb to 333MHz, multi of 9, DDR2 memory at 667MHz and voltages set to auto. Now I am to the point where I cannot access bios and im stuck. I am really hoping I can do something to reset the bios. I did backup my bios using my flash drive if that helps. I dunno if taking out that battery will work. I just dont want to try anything now until I get some advice from someone knowledgeable. I am afraid I f'd up bad and ruined my mobo but I still have hope.
Thanks for anything you guys can do.
