how do you open the bios anyway

[RickArter]

@kill10003 You do not open is as much as enter it when your PC starts it will say hit x button to enter set up. Usually it is delete or f1 on most motherboards..

How Do You GO IN BIos First Of All ..

[RickArter]

Delete or F1 or maybe F2 mostly delete on newer non OEM boards and even some of those too.

why is your PCIE frequency at 101?

[RickArter]

Google it long story.

@djkub1 usually keep your ram voltage settings to what the package tells you to set it at. I never overclock my ram just because its already pretty fast (ddr3 1600) and if i do i tighten up the timings instead of raising the speed. I would try restoring your ram to its default settings and run a memtest that will most likely tell you if its defective or not

[djkub1]

@alexe693 I discovered what vdroop was a good while back. I rarely have BSODs and I recently ran a memtest and I saw 1 error.

Do you think the problem is because I don't have my ram voltages set right? I am hoping it is my noobish overclock that is causing the problem and not actually the ram.

[alexe693]

@djkub1 this is what is known as vdrop (voltage drop) it happens to all mobo's and its a part of overclocking..you have to compensate for this by raising the voltage so that under load when it "drops" it will still be enough to run it stable

[alexe693]

@JollySwagman2006 he said that his vdroop brings it down to like 1.3 or something

i hv the exactly same mb and cpu as urs, and im wondering if it is possible to make it fsb @500 (which i alrdy did since i hv a set of 1066 ram, running at 1002. and cpu at 3.5Ghz) and 4.0Ghz cpu speed at the same time?

thanks

GoT WeeD ?

@JollySwagman2006 - well, i needed 1.5 V for the cpu @ 4.5 GHz - no harm at all with the right cooling ;)
