Hey you all,
I guess I was getting a bit restless/bored and thought it may be time for a bios upgrade. I had just installed a new nvidia card ( msi gtx 560ti/2gb ) and thought this may help for future driver compatability
and so on. My original bios was the very early FA bios, and I flashed it to the most recent " stable bios on Gigabyte site FH ". I used @bios as directed by your excellent post regarding this. Everything went well,
the only thing I am running into is that I had my I7 930 slightly overclocked to 3.5 ghz and now if I use the same settings the pc will post most of the time but will soon shut down--no blue screen or display driver error,
it just shuts down and when I restart I get the description regarding windows had to shut down and how do you want to start ( safe mode or normal ). When I go back into the bios and load the optimized settings
and adjust just a few settings specific for my setup ( QPI/VTT--1.295), Azelia --Disabled, HPET--64 bit, Init. Display First -PCIEX16-1, Smart Fan Disabled ( Corsair H-50, need full speed ) everything works fine. I also enabled XMP for this,
just because nothing is overclocked and it recognizes the 1600 memory, ( I had this disabled and set manually in overclock ).
Well I guess this is what I get---ha !!! It is funny running some benchmarks really doesn't show that great of a gain in what I had from my overclock values so this is not a real big deal it just is something I am trying to find the answer to.
Oh, the previous overclock settings are pretty much using Wazza's template on his signature, BCKL-160, CPU Clock Ratio-21X,Memory Multiplier--10, Uncore Freq--21, Load Line Calibration cannot be disabled in my bios but I set it to " Standard ".
Thanks a lot ---rclark
