um hey guys i was wondering, could my bios be corrupted because whenever my computer turns off abruptly it sit at that american megatrend screen, telling me "overclocked failed". press f2 to load default and f1 to run bios. In this scenario my computer would have been sitting on this screen when it got turned off second time. could this mess or curropt the bios??
no its still blank screen (although monitor detects something is connected), what i said above usually happens when my computer is turned off without proper shutdown. so when my computer got turned off second time it must have been on that megatrend screen asking if i wanna put in default values or run bios.
so could that might have corrupted the bios. i can get a new bios chip from Netherlands for £9.

, 1 question though does it matter which way i put my bios chip? because i can put my current one either way

Im having this exact problem on my little brothers computer it was working and then he turned it off and came back later and there was no signal to the screen, so thought it was a loose wire, checked that nothing, thought it was the monitor checked that too, then the GPU but i put that GPU into my rig and it worked fine so i put another GPU into the offending rig still no signal, not sure whats happened...
So how will I know the right way to put it?

By looking at your existing one. Usually there's a small indent at one end so that you can see how it goes in.
