BSOD after installing new cpu fan??

[alexhinbest]

I now suffer an additional problem: i turned off my blu ray drive and HDD from the boot options to encourage the bios to boot the memtest usb, after the memtest repeatedly started but never actually started testing anything, i added the HDD back on to the boot order as priority however now the bios won't turn the blu ray drive back on, it can't find it and I can't find a way to turn it back on, anybody familiar with the asus bios?

To better help us to help you would you please add your systems specs? Here's the correct way to do it. :SystemInfo See Your System Specs Under System Manufacturer/Model Number add whether it is a desktop or laptop and whether self built. Very important

Log in to Seven Forums and you will be able to transfer the info directly to the specs page in your profile from within the System Info app.

Your System Specs here.

After doing this your specs will be available in each of your posts.
Click on My system Specs in the lower left of this post to see how it should look.
Full instructions are in the tutorial.

You can do another check on whether the CPU overclock is stable by running IBT:

[alexhinbest]

test a success, cpu declared stable, temperature peaked at 52oC or so

 

[Golden]

Which test? Post screen capture images to verify the tests?

 

[alexhinbest]

standard intelburn test, 10 times, screencaps to follow

test success, same as before just took longer. but can someone please help me get the bios to recognise the disc drive again so i can do a ram check???

 

[Golden]

I would run the Prime95 torture tests again for 3 hrs.

Is your BlueRay player recognised in Windows? In which SATA port is the player connected to?

 

[alexhinbest]

i havent changed the sata port at all, shouldnt be that, its just i turned it off as a boot option in the bios and i cant find the option to get it recognised and turned on again. nothing recognises any more but it was working fine before. it has power and data, and i can open and close the drive, and it even tries to read a disc even though the computer wont. i need an expert on this particular asus bios

 

[alexhinbest]

btw i havent had any bsods or any other problems since i swapped the ram into the other two slots on the mobo in the 12 or so hours i have been using it

 

[Golden]

Do you have the motherboard manual? Check that.

 

[alexhinbest]

don't have that handy, probably lost years ago, also cant find anything online about it, someone here must know this bios well enough to help?

 

[Golden]

Is this it? First result in a Google search...

Motherboards - P8Z68-V LX

 

[alexhinbest]

yes but nowhere describes my problem

 

[Golden]

Have you actually downloaded and read the manual? :sarc:

 

[alexhinbest]

yes it didn't help, doesn't mention anything about bios suddenly not recognising hardware and refusing to add to it back on to the boot option. i thought i knew how to use my bios, but clearly something is wrong here, its not a hardware issue either

 

[Golden]

The manual is there to help you pinpoint how to use the BIOS - its not going to have your actual issue listed.
