MSI Z170 M7 motherboard

Ash1992 · July 31, 2016

Hey guys so I went into my bios recently on the MSI Z170 m7 motherboard to try and overclock it, when I did the display stopped working then I used the clear cmos button on the back of the motherboard and restarted the computer. The computer started working back up again but now the error code indicator of the motherboard is fluctuating randomly between numbers and not displaying the 00 code that is indicative of no error. When I go back into the bios it is flashing very fast making it hard to change any settings. I set my computer on fast boot to skip the bios section on startup but I would like to rectify this problem asap if anyone has any advice please let me know.

My build includes an i7 6700k, msi z170 m7 motherboard, 32gb of ddr4 ram 3000mhz, and a zotac gtx 970 graphics card a 512gb samsung 850 ssd, and a 2tb seagate hard drive.

Thanks in advance for all your comments.

Can you get to either the Bios or the OS?

I can get to the OS and the Bios but when I go to the Bios the bios screen is flashing violently and i can't see whats going on at all.

Maybe a driver problem? Try using your iGPU and see if it helps. If it does, reinstall NVIDIA drivers (clean install).
