Seasons greetings to all,
I have an issue with my rig, which I think I have diagnosed, however I am looking for clarification before I call PCS tomorrow.
I accidentally pushed the Clear CMOS button on the back of my computer yesterday. The computer had just been disconnected from ALL hardware/mains, however I could see that a little electricity was still flowing, as the MOBO was still lit up, and there was an LED on I believe I have therefore wiped the BIOS settings.
My computer will now not boot. I get a 'CPU fan error' which I always had, due to the Case cooling, followed by a 'press F1 to continue' this has never happened before.
The computer then begins to load windows, but is stopped short by a BSOD. The BSOD does not stick around long enough (.5 sec) for me to read, or get an idea of the problem. The PC then cycles around again.
Windows restore does not work either.
I believe this is happening because the BIOS does not recognise the config anymore?
If this is the case, (and I didn't make one) where can I get a copy of my personal BIOS settings from?
(If any of the above sounds tripe, it is because I am a Noob!)
