| 379320 | 2005-08-08 05:47:00 | Hurray, it has came alive. I bought it in to a specialist (QMB) to fix. They said it is my Bios setting problem. How can it be? ASUS mobo of this P5WD2 Premium has this special feature which it can automatic overclock the speed. I have set it to overclock by 5% if the system is under presure. But it was alright b4 I shutdown and used it again later on that night. I told you to reset the BIOS. Yes ASUS has the AI overclock but doesn't necessarily mean it will be stable. Also could have been another setting in the BIOS as well that was wrong. |

| 379321 | 2005-08-08 05:48:00 | Take it to an experienced techie before it's completely ruined, if it's not already. Yes, I already have. They have fixed it, but they can't tell me how is this happened and are not going to tell me how did they fix it. I want to know is it the Mobo problem and how to fix if it happen again. |

| 379322 | 2005-08-08 05:53:00 | They fixed it by resetting the bios to default, Its a jumper, takes about 2.6 seconds. | Metla (12) | ||

| 379326 | 2005-08-08 06:07:00 | I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens again. Ok. But is there a possibility that BIOS can be corrupted by itself. |

I want to know is it the Mobo problem and how to fix if it happen again. oops sorry didn't see that, glad all is well again as for your question "can the bios corrupt itself" technically speaking no. but a bios that hasn't "taken" properly when written or a poor install to the motherboard at manufacture time can create "intermittent" problems which will occur at any random time. Maybe everyday, maybe every few weeks or so. If the BIOS is at fault then one things for sure, eventually the problem will become worse till one day the board won't boot and it will stay that way. If you have any more problems of this nature I'd be inclined to return it. |
