Default bios issue

Yes because Im not overclocking anything. It does however auto overclock fsb
from 200 to 202. I dont see how abit can use uguru if it has a bug
/conflict. I only use it to check my cpu temp and voltages all are perfect
and I have a good psu. There are conflicts with uguru if you use the bios to
overclock or not uguru is crap and all the versions suck Its issues like
these that make me want to go and buy a dell next time.

My nvidia based gaming built by me system has an issue with the computer
bios. The issue is that when the computer restarts often it goes into
bios safe mode to " reset cpu frequency" press delete to enter bios or f1
to continue. I have uguru (abit) based motherboard diag software.

If I hit delete enter bios enter cpu area then hit F10 to save its good.
If I hit F1 then it restarts but will crash when I start uguru. Is this
a short on the motherboard. Because changing the cpu didnt help and when
I tried to overclock the cpu I got bios coruption on the screen letters
all over etc like if I pluged in a bad fan or something. Tia Peter


I wouldn't trust anything that is marketed like this:
ABIT ?Guru is a new microprocessor designed by the ABIT Engineers for use
only on ABIT motherboards and which allows end-users to reach a higher
state of hardware awareness and enlightenment.

I'm guessing that the software is automatically overclocking, changing
voltages, etc and your system can't handle it. Then when you reboot it
still can't handle those settings. On the second reboot your BIOS notices
this and tells you to use the default settings (ones that apparently
work). Then you run this application again starting the whole cycle over.

It doesn't sound like a BIOS issue at all. Just don't use that program.
It could also just be a bug with that particular version.
