when i was in windows again i got a sata maxtor scsi device has become unplugged message in windows so i gave it a hard shut down, probably switched the psu right off or a soft reboot i dunno.
i checked the sata was ctually really well fixed and obviously had a hardware detection error.
when i switched on i got an error beep code that has never happened at 180fsb, so i switched off and reset the cmos switch, and since then it has been dead to any hardware configurations.
i wonder what nf7-s does when bios chip is defunct.
i've tested it completely it is a ghosted mainboard.
The reason I asked was that its well documented that your should never flash a BIOS while you board is overclocked due the the fact that if the overclock is unstable then it will result in a corrupted BIOS. Now I'm not saying this is the cause of the problems you're experiencing, but many a BIOS corruption issue have had these begginings.Quote:

tbh i just realised that the voltages were all at maximum since a week, so we may actually be talking fried board, i dunno yet.
thanks though !!!
