I draw House Plans mostly, right now I'm working on a Commercial Office Bldg. / Equipment Garage. I got caught up in a few posts and I'm tired and about to hit the couch. I'll download the manual on your mobo and we'll see what we can do to get you up to speed tomorrow. Post some CPUID and HWMonitor screenshots for me please.
Slay, that sounds like a cool job! Ok, thanks again helping me to understand these new areas of computing and computer building.
Well, here is the update:
Now my computer will not even boot or post. I think I made some terrible mistakes. I suppose that is kind of obvious. As of this very moment, the computer is attempting to repair itself [Windows says that it is attempting to repair itself].
BSOD had this message:
"Memory Management"
What is really weird is that now this computer is not even permitting me to get into Gparted [I would like to start all over again by wiping everything clean and reinstalling Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit].
Somehow something changed the boot order as well.
I went into BIOS and changed boot order back to CDROM. Then rebooted with Gparted, and have now removed Windows 7. Presently I am reinstalling Windows 7 because I do not want to fight with a part of the OS that may be corrupted.
Here are the processes I did just prior to the BSOD:
Updated BIOS from f4 to f9 [system said it was successful].
Updated Windows 7 with all the new updates
Installed Windows Security Essentials
Installed all the newest MB drivers from Gigabyte
Installed Easy Tune 6 [I think this may have been a BIG mistake, years ago I installed this program and it created BSOD's too].
Installed Firefox
Installed Adobe Reader
Altered a significant number of BIOS settings such as multiplier, RAM timings, etc.
Here is what I hope to do in the next few hours:
Reset Clear CMOS again [done]
Reformat the HDD's with Gparted [done]
Reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate [doing it right now as I type on my other computer]
Download and install all the Windows 7 updates [will do when I wake up]
Be much more careful with things such as DO NOT install Easy Tuner 6. [never again!]
Etc.
Ok, I am exhausted and need some rest. I will chat with you tomorrow if you find some time.
Have a good rest!
