Alright I'll try that.

w/o Vdroop just hung at the same codes. So I'm trying those new ones now.

and what bios version are you using..that also can affect your booting higher qpi's as well...

Hung at (lowercase B)b8 with those mostly auto settings. Bios version.. I've never changed it, how do I check?

right when you boot your computer, it will flash a code at the bottom of the screen. you can hit the pause key to stop and look (speculation on the pause)

Bottom left?

Is that it?

yep

Okay, should I update it? If so, how?

1: downlaod all the bios versions you can find... the ones ending in .iso for your board.
2: burn them all to separate cds
3: install them and try your basic settings and voltage. if you we're meant to boot..one of these bios versions will let you.

side note...your using a 920 c0 cpu aren't you? if so...it could be far harder to boot that higher qpi.

Response to:


2: Will a flash drive work?
3: Are they just a normal install or is it hard2do?

flash drive will work if it's already formatted and ready to go.
just copy all the bios versions in different folders.
then you can boot, switch folders and try a version.
make sure you name the folders under 8 characters
