Sir_Siddy Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Is the RAM detected correctly. Try reseating it. Also mabey resetting CMOS will help. It cant hurt. As for the password have you tried just getting in with a blank password? also try commen ones like user and default. Is this board new or used? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is this board new or used?its a new board, ive never even been in bios to even SET a password, but im not sure if i need to get into it TODAY but when i install my PS and video card i will need to, i think...anyway. its only valve that crahses, COD demo, halo, and UT2k4 run fine, actually better with the new ram, its just valve games.....

Sir_Siddy Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Try removing the RAM and see if valve games play right after that. Thats really strange. Is the ram the same brand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xxkbxx Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 You can reset the CMOS easily by moving jumper or by flipping over your CMOS battery and leaving it for about a minute to short the current - leaving you with your default settings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
