Please if anyone can help with this I'd be much obliged.This morning my computer was working fine. However I just started up my PC and it cant even post bios anymore(using ASUS P5N-E Sli). Yesterday I wanted to check my bios and I hit Load Default setup by accident. Had to go back and set RAM timings manually. Everything seemed fine. But now nada. I went ahead and cleared the CMOS and it looked like it mightve worked when I was able to get to the BIOS ever so briefly before my system froze. So to reiterate it just hangs on the intial screen, I can hold/hit delete as long as I want....it wont let me get to the BIOS setup. The only other useful piece of information is that my processor gets hotter than I'd like even with the Xigmatek Riffle. It gets sometimes gets up to 60 C (per Core temp). (I think its possible that I need mounting brackets for the CPU cooler but thats for another day). Is my processor burned out? Below are system specs
Processor: Q9450 (not OCed). CPU Fan: Xigmatek Riffle. PSU: Sigma Shark 630 W. Mobo: Asus P5N-E Sli RAM: 8 GB (6400) OCZ Sli-Ready (not OCed was running at manufacturers specs 5-4-4-15 at about 2.1 V). Evga Geforce 8800 GT. OS: Vista 64.
