Boot troubleshooting

[yashchitale]

I have the Asus P5KPL-CM mobo with Pentium D 820 and just installed a hyper 212 plus cooler to counter cooling problems on the CPU. The problem is whenever i make any changes to bios the moment i restart it says new CPU installed. please configure settings. then i have 2 options.
1. configure settings
2. load default settings
the only was i could go ahead was either discard changes or then load default and continue. So i cannot overclock at all. What could be the issue?

update bios and check

Bios is latest and battery is not dead since time and date are being saved.

reset bios, remove cmos battery for few minutes, then check

 

[yashchitale]

okay. did that. no change. now whats happening is that the settings are being saved. but i still get a message saying new CPU installed. Please configure. I had removed the CPU from the socket to clean it and apply TIM.

Re-fit the CPU once again.

did everything possible. name it. Refit cpu cleaned with alcohol, reapplied TIM, cleaned n reapplied TIM for northbridge, the fcked up part was when i i tried booting without ram it dint even beep. dint expect so much to go wrong while just changing the cooler! i must've been too rough. gave the board for RMA today. will be back by evening or tomorrow morning.
