Hey all

After my main work rig took a dive and I went to my newer rig I pull out all my equipment from the old work rig.

Maximus Formula SE & QX6700 which was OC'd to 3.2 back then. Turns out it was my memory that went out after testing.

So I have set the Max and QX6700 with new memory up on my bench and plan to use it as my first runs with LN2. But before I started using LN2 on it I wanted to get back into getting the feel of this board. So it’s setup on stock cooling, nothing fancy, yet…

The BIOS on the board was 0401, the machine came up and running fine with Vista SP1, all setup stock and doing fine. I took a look here and saw that 1004 was what everyone seemed to be using so I flashed that, all good and booted fine.

So I go let’s get to some OCing

I reboot to the BIOS and set it manual, but I cannot change the CPU Multi or FSB. I select CPU Multi or FSB and hot return, nothing happens. Hmmm…
I then installed AISuite and I can change things there fine, reboot and the OC works.
Going back into the BIOS I can see the changes I made with AISuite but I still cannot change the CPU Multi or FSB.

It appears I have a stuck BIOS
I have reflashed 1004, no help. So pulled the battery out over night and will see if that helped.

But in the mean time while I read through this very long thread about how to unstick the BIOS, I think I saw it someplace last night but I cannot remember where it was, can anyone give a hand on how to do this while I look ?

Thanks again
