This morning when I tried to turn on my computer, the monitor would not display anything. The computer is on, but no UI on the monitor and no beep.

I turned off the computer and turn it back on again. This time, the computer was on for about 2 seconds and automatically turned itself off for about 2 second and automatically turned itself back on. This happened two times without the monitor displaying any UI.

On the third try, the computer did the same thing but when it turned itself back on, the monitor displayed this:


American Megatrends

Asus P8P67 Le ACPI bios Revision 1011

CPU Intel Core i5 2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz Speed: 3300MHz

Total Memory 4096 MB (DDR3-1333)

USB Devices Total: 0 Drive, 1 Keyboard, 1 Mouse, 2 Hubs

Detected ATA/ATAPI Deivces

Overclocking Failed! Please enter setup to reconfigure your system.

Press F1 to Run Setup.


After I pressed F1, it went into the Asus EF1 Bios Utility. I couldn't do anything in there so I just exited.

After which, the computer auto turned off and on again and I was able to use the PC like regular.

This has never happened to this computer before and the day before, nothing seemed wrong, just regular use and some gaming.

    So, all I know is voltage and clock have something to do with each other. Unstable if too low voltage Too high voltage, and too much heat. or higher voltage + lower clock may heat less than that voltage at higher clock. The reason why im asking is because if I can learn how the power vs speed works… >>> More

    Hi everyone, I've got an overclocked system that seems to be misbehaving. When trying to boot up from cold the system just hangs and nothing is output to the screen. Fans are on as they should but nothing happens to finish the boot. From here I have to switch it off then on again and the boot completes… >>> More

    I saw this question and just had to ask. How can I do this on my own PC, where do I find this software if it exists for your computer and what can I do? I never considered overclocking before because I know myself and I know I'd mess up my hardware in some stupid accident or mistake, but if I can… >>> More

Recently I tried to overclock it using MSI Afterburner but it wouldn't let me change the voltages or the clock speed no matter what I tried. Various Google searches… >>> More
