Well i turned on ACC and set to Hybrid. Hit F10 to save, and the PC said to wait as it updates the firmware, and now when I try to turn my PC on, nothin happens.
very new to this and thought I read everything correctly....help??
You think it crashed while updating the firmware? that can't be good
follow the no post guide in my sig to make sure the bios is the problem.
First of all tho reset the Cmos by shorting the two little jumpers or removing the motherboard battery for a few minutes. Hopefully just a failed unlocking.
alright well i cleared the CMOS and i could turn the pc on again (tyvm) but whenever i try to make any of the adjustments to the bios it just turns off and locks up. I do have a relativly small PS in this system due to it being matx and a htpc. would this be the fault?
its 99% to be the psu..just cus its 300watts..doesnt mean its 300watts of quality - I.E. who knows how much fluctuations are going on the 12V and 5V..so yea..those are critical..
It is a bad choice for core unlocking !
My 550BE also can't working with 4 core in this mobo, but in another Asrock 785 series I can use 4 cores.
Sorry4my english

only problem with that is it's a matx so i dont want to poor much cash into an htpc psu. i dont really need the other 2 cores, just thought it would be nice if i can get it for free.
i guess since i have this topic open, and because i'm a complete noob, how can i go abouts overclocking the cpu? i dont even know where to start in all honesty. I dont want to buy a new heat sink or anything so i'd like to use the stock parts.
a.) what steps do i take to OC? (Tutorial or something is always helpful. I dont mind reading, i just dont know where to start looking)
b.) for the people who own this set-up or one similar, what can i boost it to safely without the need for any alterations?
I'm currently @ the 3.1 ghz and i'd like to be able to get to 3.4-3.8 if possible.
I use XBMC for all my home theatre files and it's cpu intensive so the extra speed is actually more beneficial than the unlocked cores at this point
Thanks again ppl. You have been a big help thus far!

The simplest way to overclock a black edition amd processor? Raise the processor multiplier by half steps until you blue screen, then back up. After that, run some stress tests, if you pass a couple of hours worth, you're good
