Booting bios problems!!!!

[TheGTXman]

Ok so i have a custom built gaming pc and i wish i could just be like a normal person and walk up to my pc after it being off all night and press the power button and it boot up................................................. YA I WISH .

So what happens is i started off with an a6 5400k that just came with my mobo  (asus a55bm-e)off of ebay and it booted fine just like normal ........ But then i got an Athlon X4 860k and popped it in and started having problems right away but was aware of some warnings from pc part picker about some kaveri cpu's needing a chipset update with the a55 set . So i updated and no change . what it does is the pc will come on fine fans spinning hdd light blinking but no video output so i have to press the reset switch sometime as many as 300 times with no exaggeration it get extremely annoying and then video finnaly comes up and you see asus booting symbol and then it says overclocking failed press f1 to continue with setup ,but i have nothing overclocked cpu speed is stock ,gpu speed is stock, and ram speed is stock so IDK what to do please help me. it happens  everytime you boot it except if its about an hour or less since you have sucessfully booted it then it boots up fine but any longer than that it will still have problems.

Take your CMOS battery out for 30 seconds when the system is fully powered down to clear out your CMOS and try rebooting.

For some reason, people fall for this a lot. Your PC is set up for your previous hardware. You switched CPUs, so your PC is trying to boot with the older CPU power and timing settings,which is apparently wrong. Clear CMOS, but be prepared to have to do a clean install. All of your driver's ate set for the older CPU. Wineries optimized itself for your older CPU. You may have to put the old one in, back up your files, and fresh install with the new CPU if CMOS doesn't work.

 

Don't feel bad, someone else did it with new MB, CPU, and GPU, only keeping the original HDD... nothing worked for him except clean install.

A clean install wouldn't help him with not having video, it would only help if windows fails to start, which it doesn't.

 

A CMOS clear could help, as it seems that the board is having issues with the cpu, it shows the overclocked fail message because it fail to boot, but not because your CPU is overclocked.  Some boards show that message after the system crashes.

You removed the power from the wall when you done it?
