the oc-ability of this bios is ok or not? is it possible for u to test it on AOE V12 or not? coz i might wanna flash it. thanks.

regarding the athlon x2, it is still athlon64 but amd decided to drop the 64 at the back since its already well known to be 64bit and amd is known to be the innovator behind 64bit procs.

u can search around the net for more on this if u want, but the BE-2350 and BE-2300 are still 64bit

hi guys,

after updating my bios to 605 from 402, i cant startup my pc edi. i dont think the mobo burned coz there is no burnt smell and no loud sound coming from the psu.

here is what happened and i hope u guys can help me out since we have quite a number of ppl here using same mobo (and cpu as me)

yesterday i just reformatted my pc coz after installing bitdefender, it gave a lot of problems to my system and other software on it. reformatting and install windows and all my programs had no problems. but after updating the bios from the biostar website, to the 605 bios using the biostar bios update utility, it said i needed to restart, after the restart, my pc wouldnt even go into bios or anything, there was no cpu information displaying, nothing at all, just a black screen like my pc is not linked to my monitor.

i rebooted again and there is no beep sound and no other diagnostic beeps like long beep as well. the cpu fan is turning as well as the casing fan, just that it will not start up.

do u have any idea how to fix my problem? the mobo has 2 buttons one which reset and one which on/off the pc, but both also dont fix the problem. i took out the battery from the mobo and put back in also same. no response, the pc not booting up.

i cant even enter bios to restore the previous bios. hope u can help me out. thanks.

about the ram or pci device, i dont think thats the problem coz there are no beep sounds coming from the mobo.




i doubt it that i flashed the wrong bios. here is the link

thanks.

hi. first of all, thanks for ur help. my problem was just a small one. i just had to reset the jumper and it booted up. no problems on it now.

for the drivers issue, im using catalyst 7.6 now which doesnt give me problems (except that the igp is showed as x1200 instead of x1250 but thats not a big problem and doesnt affect performance )but previous 7.5 did. so far, the board has given me no problems except for the problem i was facing just now.

sound is good. lan is gives no problems. graphics are good. can play most games like cnc3, fifa07, carbon, FEAR, battlefield 2, etc etc but u must make compromise on resolution and quality la.

quite a lot of ppl can get a good overclock on this board and me using the automated overclock can also get my 3600 brisbane to 2.3 from 1.9 just by changing overclock profiles without any advanced overclocking knowledge.

with my brisbane, my idle sys temp is below 40 as well as cpu temp. so far im happy with the board and also like the pcb colour coz it looks interested compared to others haha.

for others using my combo, ta690g + 3600+ brisbane, they can mostly get 2.8 and above to around 3

hi guys. for those using ta690g mobo, does anyone know how to disable the shared memory for graphics? coz i want to use all my ram (just 1gb) for my system and dont require it for graphics. thanks in advanced

if i dont have an external gpu? i wan to use onboard but disable the memory sharing/stealing.

its got its own 256 memory wert. lol. nvm la

now its 320mb total with 256 from itself. the extra is from my ram.

do u know where im supposed to change it? thanks
