Hey guys,
I've got a build that I've had for 5-6 years (i5 3570k, 8GB RAM, MSI 660ti, MSI Z77A-GD65). Today it wouldn't post or come on but it would light up and fans would be running. I had a look into it and I believe it's a bios problem.
I used the multi switch to go to bios 2 and my computer boots perfectly fine like usual so I think all my other components are fine and working. I've never had a problem with it before. On bios 1 I was overclocked to 4.2ghz on the cpu which may have been the cause although I've had it running on that for years. I've reseated the RAM, changed the slots, cleared the cmos on bios 1 but no luck in getting it to boot. There's no beeps or anything. The bios is on version 10.0 which isn't the latest (I think 10.7 is) so I installed the latest version to a memory stick to try and flash the bios and update however I've run into the problem that my keyboard doesn't seem to respond when it boots up, like I can't go into the bios or anything.
Do you think flashing will fix it or any other suggestions what to do next? It's working fine on bios 2 but I'd like to know what the problem is. Thanks!
Colin
