Little Help Needed

[The Nick]

Hello All,

I have just finished a semi new build, and ran into an issue I would like some help with.

I ended up going with a Biostar TA790GXE 128M Mobo and an AMD Athlon II X3 435 Proc. I read a bunch of the tales of the "great unlocking cores", and decided I would go with this set-up and give it a try. Got a decent deal on it at Newegg, and if the 4th core did not unlock, I could overclock and it would have more than enough headroom for me.

So in the Bios, I tracked down the ACC function and set it to Auto. Now, the computer turns on, but I get nothing but a black screen.

Also, anyone familiar with this Mobo, usually when you boot and get a good boot, there are 4 LED's on the board, and only the first comes on full-time, while the second one blinks occasionally. Now that I am stuck in this setting, all 4 LED's are on full-time. I am guessing this is indicating the problem, but I can't find anything to get out of it.

My question is how do I get into this thing to revert back to the old settings?

I appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Nick

Ah, got it. Had to reset by taking the battery out.

Does that mean the 4th core won't unlock when it does that?

Yes,usually if you cant fully boot into Windows the core is no good.Don't
fell bad,I can only get my 955 at a stable overclock around 3.6gh and I
though a bb edition could be pushed higher.
