Watchdog Timer on badaxe 2 help?!?

[djac@optonline.]

hi all

have a problem getting the 'watchdog' timer on a new badaxe2 to work. After bad overclock attempts, no matter how many times i power on/off, i always have a dead black screen. Bios cmos clear is the only way to fix it, and to get to the damn jumper i need to remove 2 hard drives and my video card.

The manual and their website say that the timer allows 'graceful' recovery of bad o/c.

How does it work? how long do i need to stare at the black screen before powering on/off?

thanks!

Unfortunately the BIOS that BX2 launched with doesn't have it enabled. Keep an eye out for an update that turns this on.

man that stinks.

However - I downloaded the new bios on the intel website (dated like a week ago or something) and it still doesnt seem to work.
