[Klunt]

Hey guys i was just wondering if you can help me out. I have a7n8x-x mobo with 2400+ cpu. Just a couple of days ago my cuzn was fooling aroudn with the bios while i was out, and im not sure what setting everythign was at because i needed to hit load setup defaults. Now some things dont seem right like memory aperture size is at 64 when i have 9600xt video card 128mb video card.
My system specs are: a7n8x-x, amd 2400+ , 9600xt sapphire 128mb, 256ddr ram, 40 gig maxtor harddrive.

Welcome to the forums.:t

If that's the only thing messed up can't you change the aperture size to 128?

Im not sure if thats the only things u see, im not sure what got changed and wat the values should be

Well, first you punish your cousin... LOL!

OK, well, what exactly seems wrong? Is your PC performing slowly or something?

Also do you have an "Award Bios"?

Comb through the BIOS, and check every setting...

Here are some help guides explaining what is what.

Do you know if your Front Side Bus and Muliplier are set correctly?

BIOS can be a good place to learn, but...it can be a bad place to learn...too.

Time well spent can help you squeeze every last drop of performance from your system...it can also render a useless system.

read your owner's manual...they can give you a general direction on where to start. As far as defining every setting in your particular BIOS...well...that could take forever....

Best of luck!

Load default settings.

Follow dajogejr instructions and tweak where applicable.

Password protect the BIOS settings menu this time. I do this as standard for mine, family, friends and clients.
