Solve : Hung for Improper Frequency Combination? |
|
Answer» When I'm just surfing the web, the computer automatically restarts and then makes annoying beeping noises and there's a black screen for a while. I have to take the plug out and put it back it and then it restarts and says in a BIOS setup screen: Error Message: During the last bootup your system hung for improper frequency combination. You are now in safe mode. Make sure frequency combination conforms to specifications of your cpu, dimm, and other connected devices. BIOS setup screen: Error Message: During the last bootup your system hung for improper frequency combination. You are now in safe mode. Make sure frequency combination conforms to specifications of your cpu, dimm, and other connected devices. I know I'll probably be wrong about this but, since when do BIOS's have 'safe mode'? I probably have interpreted this wrong... I'm confused?
