    argh. New build BSOD now wont post

    hi guys

    this week i built my new pc.

    q6600
    asus p5k-e
    BFG 8800GTS
    2x2gb Corsair

    i updated bios earlier using the asus flasher thing, it said it worked.

    used pc for several hours, then BSOD.

    now it just keep constantly restarting, and not even getting to the POST screen.

    any ideas guys what i could try guys? cant reset CMOS i dont think as it has the auto reset thing, was thinking of taking battery out and leaving overnight?

    :baffled:

    power lead out, hit the on off button a few times...walk away for 6 hours.

    You KNOW it'll start again.....just be grateful it wasn't me there...or the BIOS would be toast
