Device configuration invalid

4.5

The system rejects a configuration as "out of range" or "unsupported".

Symptoms
  • "Invalid parameter"
  • Beeping on boot
  • Settings menu crashes
Possible Causes
  • Manual registry edits
  • Incompatible hardware pairing
  • Overclocking too high

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Reset to Defaults

Use the "Reset" or "Restore Defaults" button in the settings menu.

2

Boot in Safe Mode

Safe Mode loads a minimal config, allowing you to fix invalid settings.

3

Clear CMOS

Use the motherboard jumper or remove the battery to wipe invalid BIOS settings.

When to See a Technician

Invalid configurations can sometimes prevent the system from POSTing (booting at all).
