An annoyance

I have been overclocking my 720qm to something like 1792mhz or so using setfsb. I have the beta drivers and new vbios. Almost every time I turn my computer on, it gets stuck at something I am assuming to be POST, and won't turn on until I unplug everything, take out the battery, power drain, and put it back together again. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

EDIT: 1796 mhz

EDIT: Also, is there a way to check that the new vbios flashed properly?

 

Have you tried not OCing and running it back on stock settings. Disable or take off all the recent changes you have done and try running it again with settings that used to work properly. Just to test and see if it will go back to normal.

You could also perhaps run a dell diagnostics test. Keep hitting F12 when you boot your system up to bring the boot menu up then select Diagnostics. It will take quite a while for it to run a complete check on your systems hardware.

Also for the GPU bios version you can use GPU-z 4.5 to check the bios version that is currently installed on both your GPUs.

It should show this ie below pic;

The older bios pic I believe showed 012.019 and the new one is 012.020..............

Check the bios version for both cards to make sure.
Also check that you are running the system on BIOS A07 revision.

Cheers.

 

My vbios did flash properly, next time I turn off I'm going to try setting the clocks back to normal before I shut down.

 

Go into the system bios and set everything to default settings, exit and save. SetFSB can cause issues when shutting down, there's not much you can do about that.
