I took a minute to look at my BIOS since I was resetting for other things anyway.
My Motherboard model name is M2N-SLI. An Asus Motherboard.
I looked into the settings, and saw two things that may be major contributors to the issues.
1) Under SLi Configuration, the setting was set to Dual Video Cards. Last I remember it was Auto, but for some reason it's Dual now. I don't know why, but I set this to Single, since I only have one GPU installed.
2) Under Primary Video Adapter, it was set to PCI, but my Video Card is PCI-E. I switched it correctly.
Honestly, with these two changes, I'm surprised the system was booting at all. Wouldn't these both be major problems with the wrong settings set, or does the system automatically compensate during boot?
Regardless, both settings are now in their proper setting. I took a look at the Voltage area, and could not find anything that would allow me to overclock/underclock nor could I increase or decrease Voltage going to the system. The only thing was that it told me my CPU, the settings it's at, which were greyed out, and the Voltage settings were either "Show" or "Ignore". Of course I left it on Show. So Overclocking and Voltage changing are both no longer options for checking. Going to begin MemTest now.
