I just brought a MSI Z68A-GD65 motherboard for my PC yesterday. After attaching the motherboard and other peripherals, I thought of overclocking it. So I entered the BIOS menu and increased the multiplier and voltage. After inserting the desired values for other settings of the motherboard, I saved the settings and exited. But the UEFI of the motherboard froze and I had to restart the system again.
I thought that motherboard was not properly connected to the hard disk or maybe some other peripheral which must be the reason for the non-responsive behavior. I checked the connection of all the peripherals on the motherboard and restarted again. I once again checked the settings in the BIOS if they were saved properly after its crash. But again after saving and exiting, the UEFI stopped responding. I asked one of my friends for the possible reason and he said to check the version of BIOS for any incompatibility. The version of BIOS was compatible with the MSI Z68A-GD65 motherboard but I found that pre-installed BIOS was out dated and many more new versions were available on internet. Also overclocking the motherboard successfully will need to have the latest version of BIOS, so I flashed my motherboard with a new version of BIOS.
But after updating the BIOS of my motherboard, the things went from bad to worse. Now after changing the settings, the motherboard stops responding even before I can save. In both the cases, that is before updating the BIOS and when having the old BIOS, the temperatures and the voltage were at normal value. The temperatures would neither rise above normal levels neither there was any fluctuation in voltage to the motherboard.
I cannot understand what the problem can be. Can anybody help me sort out this mess?
