|  maximus formula problem Everytime i try to make changes to the bios(OC), the board shuts down, turns on for about 2-3 seconds and then restarts. it will do this endlessly until I make it stop.(push clr Cmos button,reset button or power button on board.) It also does it if i turn off the computer and then try to turn it back on, but it doesnt when i just restart it. Any ideas?

| Re: maximus formula problem Maybe your OC is not stable. Either bump up the voltages a LITTLE bit (like from 1.35 to 1.375) and keep a close eye on your temps or don't OC it as high.

 | Re: maximus formula problem before you do that, i have to ask have you updated to the latest bios? if not, then clear your cmos. or if you can, select load fail safe defaults in the bios. once your at stock bios settings, update to the latest bios for your motherboard. sometimes an older bios doesnt play nice with a newer processor.

| Re: maximus formula problem I only changed the FSB from 333 to 334 and it wouldnt boot up. AS for the bios update, which would be the best way to do it? I did it on the internet and that doesnt seem to be working E8400 @ 3.2Ghz Asus Maximus Formula 4GB OCZ Platinum PC-6400 EVGA Akimbo 8800GT - 1024MB WD Caviar SE 320GB 16MB Seagate Barracuda 320GB 16MB Antec 900 Case OCZ GameXstream 600w XP Pro Logitech z-5300e 5.1 | ||||||||||||||
