I had to clear my CMOS on my EX58 Extreme MOBO because I accidently tried to update my BIOS with the 2 Beta BIOS's(Fh and Fl)and I think they corrupted my BIOS. Tried the L first and then read that it was bad and then tried the H and then read that it was also bad,LOL.I then went back to my trusty old F9d, I then had to reinstall my Overclock settings and then after that I would crash or freeze up alot. Even when running the Windows Accessment App. So do I need to reinstall the EX58 chipset after clearing the CMOS? Also where do I find the Chipset for the MOBO?

you wont need to re-instal intel chipset drivers but it wont hurt to install them again if you want to make sure
go here and select your os and download them

I agree, chipset drivers are not going to help but you can reinstall or update them. Latest is posted here, second link >>
Sounds like your BIOS settings are not correct, let me know if you need help with that. If you do please grab a template from my signature and give me your full specs and settings and I will advise back.
New BIOS should be coming shortly to fix F9l issues, but if you are using 920 CPU then it is perfectly fine to use F9l

Re: Cleared CMOS...do I need to reinstall Chipset for X58 Extreme? Where is it?
I have cleared the CMOS twice reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate after reformatting, reinstalled Chipset drivers and Video drivers and I still cannot get this thing to be stable! It even reboots just running the Windows Experience Index tool. It gets to the part Accessing CPU or something like that and BAM! Reboot! It has never done this before in the last 6 months that I have been running this at 4 Ghz. Was always stable even after 12 hours of Prime95. This all started when I figured I would install the latest BIOS because I had just received my HIS Radeon HD5970 Graphics card. Thought it might be wise to have the latest BIOS. Then I read here that both BIOS's were bad(H and L)so reinstalled the F9d with success. But now I am getting crashes after trying to run my usual 4.0Ghz. settings in the BIOS. Even tried just 3.8Ghz. and it still crashes after just trying the Windows Index tool in Windows 7 Ultimate. The reason I am trying that is because that seems where I first noticed the unstableness. If it crashes using that it wont cut it when using Prime95. I does put a 60-70% load that crashed my system for some reason. Here is a link to the template that I am using for the 4.0Ghz. I am running on my Intel i7 920 on the Gigabyte EX-59 Extreme. 6 Gig of OCZ 1600 RAM. It does stay relativly cool when running Prime95 and at Idle. Could I have corrupted my BIOS chip already just by doing this? Here is a link to my 4.0 Template set up by LSDmeasap months ago. http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/newb...le-help-34011/ No longer using the Cooler Master cooler,switched to the Noctua cooler for the i7 920.Last edited by kenestra1; 11-28-2009, 02:52 AM.

Re: Cleared CMOS...do I need to reinstall Chipset for X58 Extreme? Where is it?
All BIOS are not the same at all, so you can't use your previous overclock settings with new BIOS. Some may need more or less of any given setting, this is likely the problem if you are using old settings. FOR SURE do not use old saved profiles either!
Please give me your full specs and current failing settings and I will advise back.
No, your BIOS would not have corrupted, but you may want to reflash F9d from DOS using the following switches and FlashSPI instead of Qflash.
Example command
Code:flashspi.exe biosfilename.f9d /c /d /e /r

Re: Cleared CMOS...do I need to reinstall Chipset for X58 Extreme? Where is it?
Tried the Windows Index App again and it got to the part "Accessing CPU Performance" and my system just froze! I mean I couldnt do anything. Had to hit restart button. What specs do you need? My settings are just what are in the template in the link I sent. I did use Q-Flash to go back to F9d. I always use Q-Flash and it tells me the update was a success every time. I havent tried your way yet. How is this done?

Re: Cleared CMOS...do I need to reinstall Chipset for X58 Extreme? Where is it?
You did not send a link for your settings, but anyway please post them here directly on the forum using a template from my signature. Sounds like CPU Vcore or QPI/Vtt, the program you mention is useless anyway though, this is in now way a stress test. So you are not very stable at all I would imagine.
If you were previously stable FOR SURE using F9d, then I do advise you reflash using the info I posted above, and then try your old settings again.
To flash using FlashSPI (That comes with Direct BIOS Downloads From Gigabyte Site) you would need either a floppy disk, a bootable USB Stick or a CD with MS-DOS and the BIOS files on it. Then boot to DOS and flash using the above mentioned command format, but change the file name to the actual BIOS file name.
If you are just thinking maybe you do not fully remember them all, and this could by why you are unstable let me know and give me your current failing settings and full specs and I will advise back.

Re: Cleared CMOS...do I need to reinstall Chipset for X58 Extreme? Where is it?
Well Qflash is the best way, I just suggested this to be sure you get your bootblock cleared then flashed again which Qflash does not do sometimes.
No, letter case does not matter normally but it may with the switches. What error are you getting?
Try this
flashspi ex58ex.f9d /c /d /e /r
You need to use it like this, spaces included
flashspi EX58EX.F9D /c /d /e /r
Or
flashspi.exe EX58EX.F9D /c /d /e /r
Any of the above three commands will/should workLast edited by Lsdmeasap; 11-28-2009, 04:43 AM.
