have you tried resetting the CMOS ? if you havent read the manual and it will tell you how to do it.

edit:// the page works for me

[nidgew]

yeh i have tried that and when i restart i get the message cpu voltage settings have been changed enter bios to reset and save as before i have tried all voltage/frequency settings in bios but system still resets after memory test etc. the computer tries to load ie gives you options (safe mode etc) but when i click load in normal it restets again

ps i still cannot log onto msi forums says page cannot be displayed

aany ideas

cheers

when it says that does it also say push F1 to continue?

[nidgew]

no it asks to start windows normally then after status bar gets to end it resets itself
and just keeps doing that

thanks

[nidgew]

when i reset cmos and reboot the memory count happens then at bottom of screen it says press press f1 to continue del to enter set up
when i press f1 it goes to start up windows screen and resetts as i stated earlier

after resetting cmos i get the message warning cpu has been changed or cpu ratio changed fail
please re enter cpu settings in the cmos set up and remember to save before quitting

they are my options

ant thoughts

Ok... not sure if you have these options or not but here:

Enter Bios and select Frequency Control (where the CPU, AGP, PCI etc. are all listed)

Dynamic Overclocking: Disabled
Performance Mode: Slow
CPU Ratio Selection: Locked
DRAM: Auto
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU Bus Clock: 133
AGP/PCI: Auto
CPU Vcore Adjust: No

Go down to Save settings and exit.

i dont have these all i have is
memory voltage
agp voltage
cpu/agp/pci freq
auto disable dimm/pci clock
spread spectrum

dont have the others

cheers anyway
