Thanks so much for working on thisOriginally Posted by gtj
I am definately bookmarking it.
I'm currently using bios 2395 from 12/20/06. Things have been running a little glitchy for me since someone accidently shut off the fusebox to my room a few nights ago, took me over an hour just to get the computer to post again. I was wondering if the bios info could have been damaged and was thinking of updating it but I see you have 2333 as most stable, is it difficult and would it be recommended to instead go back to 2333, I am not very savvy on flashing the bios and probably would leave things alone if they were completely stable at the moment, but they are not
System is:
Intel D975XBX2 motherboard
Core 2 Duo E6700 Conroe (currently at stock 2.66, was 3.3-3.4ghz), stock Intel cooler
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (currently at autodetected 1.84v, manual set to 233/566) 5-5-5-18
GeForce 8800GTX 768MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W Power Supply
LIAN LI PC-V1000BPlus II Case
Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000 RPM SATA150
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200KS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb
Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro
Not sure if any other specs needed.
I'd be happy getting back to 3.3ghz stable. I was actually running it fine at 3.3 then at 3.4ghz for a while, running mostly the game Oblivion at high settings, when I realized I'd forgotten to do an Orthos run at that setting, it "beeped" me pretty early so I backed down to 3.27 or so. Right now 3.3ghz without issues would make me happy but since the power thing, things have been glitchy.
Main issue right now, is sometimes it seems fine then other times it fails to post, not even anything on the monitor, and I have to go back to jiggling jumpers and rebooting to get it to boot again with anything on the monitor, sometimes it switches memory back to 266/800 even when I set it to 266/533.
Is it likely that flashing to 2333 would be an improvement?>
