So I went into the bios of the M5A97 and clicked on the "AI Tweeker:" tab of the bios and it lost response and had to turn off the PC. I then turned it on, no signal, again, this time it boots and says Overclocking fail - F1 to continue, went back in, clicked the tab, same crash.

 

I just updated my bios to the latest driver and this started happening, all I did was reset it back to defaults and its not overclocked at all.

are you sure you flashed the correct version of bios intended for your motherboard model and revision?

 

seen people flash gigabyte boards with bios intended for a different revision

 

try clearing the CMOS - there should be instructions in your manual how to clear CMOS

contact ASUS

or look if their website offers the previous BIOS version

 

is there any reason in particular why you flashed the BIOS version?

that's one of the things you don't touch unless it's broken.

No I don't need to - I backed up the old one, as I knew this might happen, I updated it in case I one day got the new FX CPU's, so I backed up first.

I just wanted to know why really.
