Allow me to set the scene for you: whilst in the middle of a quick 3DMark03 run with my X800 XL clocked 3 MHz higher than its previous best core speed, the program has an error (not a Windows error) and tells me it can't draw such and such an item. Promptly afterwards, my computer SHUTS OFF and I haven't been able to get it to boot since.
I have spent 6 of the last 24 hours trying everything I can to get my board to boot to no avail. I'm starting to think that my RAM (OCZ PC3200 VX) is dead. I'm using the 510-2 BIOS which doesn't like high latency RAM, AFAIK. I can't get Samsung TCCC to boot, but that's because it wouldn't boot with this BIOS, anyway.
I don't know if anything is dead (I really hope nothing is), but I'm open to any possibilities.
I'm using EMC2's jumper setting for VDIMM, as its helped me get it boot in the past. I've also tried the regular 3.3V setting, and the 5V setting. I will try the modified 3.3V setting, and I'll mess around with the Safe boot jumper later and report back.
If anyone has any ideas at all, please post. I just want my computer to work and it's really pissing me off to have to use everyone else's computer in my house.
Thank you for any info...
