The BIOS has been recovered and will work properly. 19 K8T890-A9 B. CPU Overheated If the system shutdown automatically after power on system for seconds, that means the CPU protection function has been activated. When the CPU is over heated, the motherboard will shutdown automatically to avoid a damage of the CPU, and the system may not power on again. After confirmed, please follow steps below to relief the CPU protection function. Power on the system again. 20 K8T890-A9 4. 3 1. TROUBLESHOOTING Probable 1. No power to the system at all Power light don't illuminate, fan inside power supply does not turn 2. Keyboard lights are on, power indicator lights are lit, and hard drive is spinning. Using even pressure on both ends of the DIMM, press down firmly until the module snaps into place. Make sure both ends are securely plugged in; check the drive type in the standard CMOS setup. Re-install applications and data using backup disks. System does not boot from hard disk 1. drive, can be booted from optical drive. 2. System only boots from optical drive. Hard disk can be read and applications can be used but booting from hard disk 2. Screen message says "Invalid Configuration" or "CMOS Failure. " Cannot boot system after installing second hard drive. Review system's equipment. Call the drive manufacturers for compatibility with other drives. 21 K8T890-A9 CHAPTER 5: WARPSPEEDERTM 5. 1 INTRODUCTION [WarpSpeederTM], a new powerful control utility, features three user-friendly functions including Overclock Manager, Overvoltage Manager, and Hardware Monitor. With the Overclock Manager, users can easily adjust the frequency they prefer or they can get the best CPU performance with just one click. The Overvoltage Manager, on the other hand, helps to power up CPU core voltage and Memory voltage. The cool Hardware Monitor smartly indicates the temperatures, voltage and CPU fan speed as well as the chipset information. [. . . ] After reboot, the [WarpSpeederTM] utility will restore to the hardware default setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according to the Recovery Dialog's setting. Note: Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify, include DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8. 1 or newer runtime library is required. And please make sure your display card's color depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is required for Direct3D rendering. d. 5. Hardware Monitor Panel Click the Hardware Monitor button in Main Panel, the button will be highlighted and the Hardware Monitor panel will slide out to left as the following figure.
