Biostar A880G+ AAC Failed?

post #1 of 7

Thread Starter 
Hey guys I think I'm having some problems with my mobo. My mobo is the Biostar A880G+ and CPU is the Sempron 140. When I try to use the BIO-unlocKING utility to unlock the extra core in my CPU, the screen turns black and the PC reboots. After rebooting, my monitor, keyboard and mouse don't get powered up. When I clear the CMOS it works normally. Also when I try to enable Advanced Core Calibration (ACC) in the bios the same thing happens. I'm hoping its not my mobo because I just got it back from Biostar a week ago.

Core might be simply unstable. Unlocking is a bonus.

Good point, I think i'm going to put the Sempron into my Biostar TA880GB+ mobo and see if the same thing happens. Just to make sure it actually is the CPU and not my mobo.

Ok so I tried putting the Sempron into my TA880GB+ mobo and when I enabled ACC it failed to boot. Does this mean the CPU is bad?

No, the CPU is perfectly fine. It works as a single core at 2.7Ghz and that's all that it was made for.
Once again, unlocking = BONUS. AMD locks cores on CPUs and resells them for a reason.

I understand the method behind locking the extra cores. I didn't know the ACC function was only for unlocking cores. I guess it makes sense why it fails to boot when I enable it, thanks for the help.

I believe ACC also corrects per-core voltage? Not too sure, but it's not just for unlocking cores (and sometimes, L3 cache).
