just clear your BIOS settings via battery/jumper. Then go back in and reset your overclock.
Computer freezing after updating BIOS
I flashed to the new MSI BIOS in LiveUpdate. I have an MSI 790FX-GD70.
Apparently I just learned that I was supposed to go back to stock clocks before updating the BIOS.
Is there anyway to go back and reverse this?
I just lost my 4Ghz OC...

Nope, just clear it and you're set to overclock / change your settings back.
Make sure you properly clear the CMOS though

Does that entail just pressing the button? Because that's what I did... Lol. I pressed it twice to make sure. Haha. I'm so paranoid working on my rig. I ground myself like every 5 seconds because I'm so prone to static shock. My girlfriend's car is always shocking me. I wanted to call my buddy tomorrow to do it because he's more savvy at this than I am... but I figured I gotta do it sometime... Gotta "grow up" sometime. Lol. In a "working on a computer" type of way...
Edit:
And it just froze on me again... I'm such a n00b... lol. What gives?

Is it crashing at stock speeds? If so, you might have to reflash your BIOS to the old one. If it is only freezing after you overclock it's more than lkely you just need to recheck your settings. Clear the CMOS and double check all your bios settings. Manually remove the CMOS battery and wait 30 sec, then replace. CMOS battery pic attached.

I flashed to the new BIOS with all my overclocks in place. My friend told me after all this that I should have restored to my default clocks before I flashed (unfortunately, he wasn't around when I was doing all this).
jlchavis0844, no. It's only freezing on during my OCs. I am gonna try to remove the battery after I try the Clr CMOS button again. If pressing the button again doesn't work, I'll remove the battery. I read somewhere that it was 30 minutes, but you say 30 seconds. Is 30 seconds a faster way that still works?
