I'm currently stuck at my Bios everytime i boot my computer, this only started occuring last night. I have replaced the ram
Motherboard: EVGA nForce 780i
CPU: Intel Q6600
I have no idea what could be causing this problem.
I have booted with 2 different harddrives both causing the same problem



The CPU fan is spinning full blast, and the standby option is in S3 mode

I noticed that when i boot into the bios, the Time, Date, Harddisk appears to be flickering
also there seems to be a little ticking sounds when i boot into the bost, only lasts for about 2 seconds, and doesnt seem to be coming from the hard drive

Thanks in advance

Just checking .... you say you have replaced the Ram ..... was this before or after the problem started ? ...... what type of Ram have you installed ?

Try booting with the old sticks. Are you sure that the new sticks are compatible? Did the computer boot before you changed the ram?

That's your choice odf course.

However, you haven't answered the questions above, so it's a bit hard to help you, if you dont respond.
