Booting up to dual bios

Booting up to dual bios
« on: May 10, 2014, 04:18:54 pm »
i got up this morning powered on and see a dual bios on boot..

after couple of seconds seeing dual bios i hear my pc shutoff and reboot to see a normal boot

i shutoff rebooted 5x all normal boots

i keep my pc clean to stray from viruses.
i handle my hardware with care, when removing from chassis.. ( upgrading hardware or moving to new chassis)

i have 1600mhz memory so default is 1333mhz i go into bios and enable xmp profile 1 and there i get my 1600mhz did i do that correctly?

my mobo ga b85m d3h

By any chance did you hold in the power button more than 5 sec ? It could be almost any that cause the dual bios boot.

If the computer didn't shut down right it might have not like it. When the booted backup it might not like the bios.

That is your safety valve for your bios. If you didn't have that you might be looking at a black screen too.

Plus yes you did everything right too. If it does it again I would try and update the bios.
