Hi there,
I am an absolute clumsy and amateur when talking about computer hardware, I'm rather a software "guru".
My problem is with my ASUS M5A97EVO R 2.0 motherboard. I bought the computer nearly one year ago, and after 6 months it has started not to boot. Black screen, but fans are ok, and as everything would be okay, but the monitor stays black. I have to torn it off, power down, and power on, and turn on and it works. I had an expert who took a look at the BIOS and modified the RAM's data (voltage, timing). It worked fine.
But for some reasons the PC also started to do this problem. Turn on, no screen, turn off, turn on, until it works. When it does it gives me the message "Overclocking failed" Please press F1 to enter setup....".
As I mentioned I am not a tuning guy who does everything with the PC, it is at the base configuration, plus my expert friend's RAM setup. But I did not change anything else, and I still have problem with it.
I read on a forum it might help if I uninstall AI Suite as it may have a hidden setup that it overclocks the system.
Please see my config here:

I am grateful for all your comments, as my friend is also run out of ideas. THANK YOU!
