No pc problems, going to OC my cpu, but bios locks up every time...

just sits at entering setup... 92

i just installed a bunch of windows updates, did those break my pc?

... and now my pc won't boot past the fucking login screen god fucking damnit windows updates broke my pc...
edit: nm booting just took like 2 minutes after I hit login, i hada black screen for 2 mins

Have you tried accessing the bios prior to installing the updates? I don't think those could corrupt the bios tbh.

I haven't had to use my bios since I installed windows back in December.

Have you tried reseting the cmos?

No idea how to do that on my mobo.

Check the user manual or online.

Okay, I shall do that later. playing Gw2 with some friends atm.

Okay did that, got into bios, bios locked up, rebooted, won't let me in bios again.

stuck at entering setup

maybe is hould just use OC genie?

Have you checked to see what a code 92 is?

best way to clear CMOS=plug the mains plug pull the battery from the board,wait around 10 mins job done.

I got back in when I rebooted, so yay.

Anyone got a decent guide for OCing? I had a video for my mobo and a 2600k, and it said the guide would work for the 2500k, but he keeps changing settings I don't have. Like, there are 0 guides for my motherboard, I have been googling for hours! They say to change CPU PLL voltage but my mobo doesn't have that.

If your new to overclocking, go find a guide on how to overclock using your bios software (not necessarly your mobo, many mobos may have the same BIOS), then on your CPU model. All CPU models have different OCing characteristics all motherboards have slightly less extreme but still present differences.

The guide on your BIOS will help you get used to the pages of features of your BIOS, the CPU guide will get you used to the limits and techniques on how your CPU should behave under OC. Put them together and you should have a successful OC. If you BIOS doesn't support at least adjusting frequencies, voltages, multiplier and CPU features, don't try to OC from your BIOS, try software, if that doesn't work, get a new MOBO with a BIOS made for OC like an EVGA or Asus or something along those lines.

I've been reading a bunch of guides, but they all mention different things and a lot of the things don't exist on my mobo's bios.

My mobo has some OC genie auto thing so I'd assume it would be good for OCing.

S'funny, I was told SB was easy to OC but every guide is different so I guess not since people can't decide how to do it.

When I was overclocking on my MSI motherboard (I think the mATX version of yours) I only was adjusting the cpu voltage and multiplier. What exactly are these other ones telling you to adjust?

Things like the CPU PLL Voltage, individual core ratio limits, power saver adjustments, long/short duration power limit... stuff like that.

also it doesn't have cpu voltage it had like "CPU core voltage"

I really haven't touched any of that as I haven't been looking for a 24/7 stable clock. During the winter I playing around trying to hit 5 GHz, but topped out at 4.8GHz around 1.4 volts. All those other options I don't believe have any major effects as to whether the clock is stable or not.
