Thanks a lot. I hope the Computer will start now properly again so I can take a look at the BIOS
I need to look under CPU Configuration, right?
Assuming you can get into the BIOS setup, reset the defaults, and that the options in the manual are roughly the same as indicated in the manual, change the following settings (starting at page 27):
OC Tweaker stuff
- All "spread spectrum" settings = disabled
- AMD Turbo Core Technology = disabled
- AMD IO C-State Support = disabled
- Multiplier/Voltage Change = manual
- CPU Frequency Multiplier = 16x
- Processor Voltage = Auto (or if it insists on a figure 1.35v)
- NB Frequency Multiplier = 10x
- DRAM Voltage = one step higher than 1.5v, whatever that is, as long as it's less than 1.6v, otherwise leave it on 'auto'
- Power Down Enable = disable
Advanced menu (starting on page 32)
- Cool ‘n’ Quiet = disabled
- Secure Virtual Machine = disabled
- Enhance Halt State = disabled
- Every setting in the ACPI configuration page = disabled, except for "ACPI HPET Table", which should be enabled.
- PCI Latency Timer = 64
- Every setting in the Super IO configuration submenu = disabled
Some of those will be in submenus. Some options may gray out others.
If I didn't list it, don't change it. If I listed an option that you're sure isn't present, don't change it.
Once you've set everything, save and exit, then see if it goes to Windows still. If it does, try Memtest64 again.
I've also just had the Thought that this might be the Reason why the old Energy Cable that I've used for the SSD stopped working.
This sounds more like a power supply issue than a motherboard issue.
