Dead BIOS
Last Sunday I failed my PC with an OC, since last sunday I am unable to start my PC. I thought that i spoilt the RAM but the RAM is workin fine..Every one is telling that the BIOS is dead
CAN IT BE POSSIBLE? WHAT SHOULD I DO? MY PARENTS DON'T KNOW THIS. CAN MY PC BE RECOVERED? HOW?
Thanks
Varad

Re: Dead BIOS
What exactly is happening? are the LED's and fans running?..if they are now it mite be a PSU issue. How much did you try to OC by?
Since its a failed OC just remove the CMOS battery on the motherboard for 2 mins and then reinsert it and try to boot...If that doesnt work then disconnect EVERYTHING on the mobo xept cpu,RAM and gfx card....If even that doesnt work, your mobo might be dead and you need to ask for a replacement which means telling your parents.

Re: Dead BIOS
I am not getting any beeps on startup, nor i was getting any..
The proccy and all the fans r working, also my cathode Ray tube is working also the led on the mobo is working also the DVD/RW Drive can be ejected
There is no beep no display on the screen nor the keyboard light is working
I removed the CMOS Battery for an hour but the problem is still same....
First My RAM latanacy was 5-5-5-15 and I changed it to 4-4-4-12...and since then there is no display and the case as mentioned up is been happening.

Re: Dead BIOS
is your RAM working on another computer?...since your keyboard is not recieving any power its an ominous sign of a dead mobo...same thing happened with my MSI Eclipse mobo...everything seems fine but nothing happens.

Congrats that ur pc is back
Good work the only problem with hot flash is that if the bios is soldered and u need to de soldered it to take it out it is really a big task to do on the running pc.
can u tell do u need to desolder the bios to take it out and how u take the bios out from ur friend pc(In the running environment) and urs pc.
Or the bios is just inseted in the socket and u remove it and which instrument u used to take the bios out and putting it back??
