Hey dudes, im back and with a similar problem..

Somehow the motherboard reset my oc settings, having worked for a few days.. and it keeps doing so as it is now. Tried the same proceedure to: remove battery (10 min), flash to F6, remove battery (10 min), flash to F7G, remove battery (10 min), and try to OC. Worked like a charm last time but now it dosent seem to work at all..

I managed to find some people having problems with their powersupplies beeing to weak. the setup is in my signature, think 650W is to weak?

Probably just means that overclock failed. For example do you have active cooling on your ram ?? If not ram may have got too hot.

Came back, battery had been out for more then an hour after ha having flashed to F7G, and everything works perfect as it seems now
Had you Tested stability at all ??

After flashing does it post ok ??
Does it only not post after you overclock ??

Yeah I got active cooling on the ram, the funny part was, I didnt even notice the reset until I saw it in CPU-Z..

I did both memtest HCI. OCCT, Prime, worked fine for 7 full hours and random 1hour tests here and there..

The computer always posts no matter what I do, but the inbuilt safe function disables my changes to FSB, PCI-E mhz, basicly same problem I had earlier has shown up..

EDIT: Currently it keeps reseting at the memory testing stage..

Sorry I misunderstood, original symptoms back , right. Think I'd just go back to the one that worked ok in 1st place F6 until next bios is released.

Leaving the battery out can give inconsistent results, it's really a question of which is easiest

luck
