Tweaking the BIOS

[amie654]

Ok so I built my first PC containing of these parts:

-Antec Solo Black/Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
-ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
-eVGA Nvidia 8800GS
-CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 Power Supply
-Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450
-G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
-Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500AAKS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
-SAMSUNG 22X DVD Burner Black SATA Model SH-S223F

I won't lie, it's pretty freakin' sweet.

But this is my first time building a computer and so tweaking it to max performance is something I want to learn.

First off, the RAM runs at 800mhz. I believe this is pretty standard, it requires some altering of the BIOS to make it run at 1066mhz. I have no idea on how to do this. Any info would be great (detailed as possible).

Second, when my computer starts it has the messages

Adapter 1:
Disk Information
No Hard Disk Detected.

What do I need to do to fix this if it is a problem.

Thanks for your help!

If your messing with the Bios be careful. You can brick your system in 10 seconds flat if your not paying attention. Good luck.

DONT MESS WITH YOUR BIOS!!! Your graphics card should come with software that will allow you do overclock it without going into your bios. Somewhere in the fourms is a guide to help you OC your nvidia card.

As for your had disk message, the only thing i can tihnk of is you put your hard dreive in slot 2 instead of slot 1, but i dont know if thats even possible.

If you do decide to mess with the bios, just remember that if you brick your system, theres reset jumpers on your mobo.
