My computer should be able to run great, shouldn't it? - Page 2

Eh... Something bad happened.

When I set the CMD-ADDR Timing Mode to T1 and saved the changes, the system refused to post.

I'm taking out the RAM and going to attempt to change it back, because it won't post with it in there at the moment.

ok

no biggie

clear your CMOS and set it back to 2T

chances are the timings would have to be fine tuned before it will go into the 1T slot

did you know you can save your "tweaked" profile bios settings when you are in the bios

then when you make an overly agressive setting and it wont boot you can easily return to a good but tweaked setting just by hitting the profile name you gave it

ortherwise generally when a bios resets it goes back to default settings = slooooooow

Only problem is that the CMOS battery is right below my fat graphics card, and the card is being a pain and refuses to come out of the slot. I can't figure out what's holding it down. Any suggestions?

Update: Never mind, got the card out. To reset the CMOS, I just take out the battery and push the power button, am I correct?

Update 2: Alright. Computer is back up and running with BIOS settings the way they were before I set it from T2 to T1.

Is this pretty much all I can do, other than see if the dual core optimizer works on vista as well?

Do YOU enjoy trouble shooting ?
