So I flashed to F11 today, but forgot to reset to the defaults. I had forgotten once before, and had little if any problems (not sure if problem was caused by the flash, or heat as I had also just switched to Vista). I had "fixed" it by resetting the CMOS.
Anyway, so today it rebooted fine even after not resetting to the defaults. I ran Orthos, though, and it ran into an error. No biggie, could be a number of things. I also read that temperatures were reported higher, and that was certainly true. So I reset to the defualts, no overclock and ran orthos for about 30 minutes without problems.
Temperatures were still too high (or I guess they have always been) so I took this as an oppurtunity to clean out the dust from the syste, which there was a lot of. I finish up, and it boots up without a problem, and temperatures are at what they were before this BIOS flash, so it must have made a huge difference. So I reboot to turn my overclock back on, and it freezes during booting.
In the post it reads out the processor, clock speed, etc, everything is normal above the memory section. It says:
Memory Te
And that's it. I couldn't get past it. So I take out the video card and reset the CMOS. Now it goes to the default Gigabyte image and just freezes. After this I tried taking out the battery, reseating and trying different memory combos, unplugging hard drives, etc. It all results in it just stopping. And of course, I can't get into the BIOS setup.
Interestingly, while I was writing this I left it on that Gigabyte image and after probably 5 minutes it said like "POST error!" and had a couple options. I didn't have time to read it all, but it selected last known good configuration after a few seconds and tried to boot back up. It brought back my old settings, without the Gigabyte image and again froze at "Memory Te".
Is this shit broked or have others seen similar things?
