Help!! Have I killed it??

[PETE]

I have used Gigabyte easy tune software to reset default settings on a K8NS ultra mb..

Ever since it has beeped a memory error when attempting to start up. continuous long beeps.

The memory works fine in another mb.

I have tried clearing cmos & removing battery/shorting connections

It has a dual bios If that makes any difference.



I think I have killed it but I would love to save it if possible,

Thanks

Pete.

Nah, I don't think you killed it. Have you tried different memory in it? Try going into the BIOS and loading the "failsafe defaults" and/or manually setting the DRAM timings to auto.

Some boards take longer then others with the battery out method of clearing the CMOS. I've had one board take 5 mins, and another board took 1hour. It depends for some reason..

Can't get into bios.. won't boot.

Do you have some different memory you can try in it? You could always try leaving the battery out overnight. I have some OCZ memory that did the same thing to me. It gave me fits trying to figure the damn stuff out. Give the contacts a nice cleaning with some alcohol or acetone. A little oxidation on the contacts could cause problems.
