I’m afraid I am unfamiliar with the “Velocity Screen”, are you referring to the Windows logo spinning? If you are on a Puget Systems computer I highly recommend reaching out to our Support department so we can more accurately help based on your order number. If you are not using a Puget computer it’s possible there is no BIOS profile to restore from. We aren’t the only manufacturers to use BIOS profiles but I’m honestly not sure how many other systems manufacturers do. https://www.pugetsystems.com/support/index.php

I had this problem for months and I found out the ram in my computer went bad, try checking the ram and seeing if that is the problem!!

In reply to Ken. That should read "Couldn't get into Windows via safe mode..."

Thank you! I reset my BIOS to the “default setting” and it resulted in the dreaded BSOD. Could get into Windows via safe mode, couldn’t get in via Windows Startup Repair… It’s not clear in the BIOS that the O.C. Profile Configuration menu that any profiles have been saved, because on the left they are grayed out, but sure enough, resetting to Profile 1 worked like a charm!!!

In reply to Tomaske2. The issue doesn't have to happen via overclocking. That's just ASUS's poor terminology. If the issue keeps happening, reset your CMOS via the CLRTC jumper (your motherboard manual will tell you how to find the jumper), then double check your CMOS settings. Save and exit, then restart your computer. If it's still doing it at that point, there's likely a more complex issue going on and you'll want to contact ASUS to see if they have any troubleshooting options.

In reply to Tomaske2.

If you’re using an ASUS motherboard and you’re getting overclocking failed on a non-Puget system, the best bet is to just press enter BIOS setup and then press F10 to save and restart. Unless there’s some more serious issue going on with the board, that will likely clear things up, as it will just tell the board to keep using the same settings.
The reason we need to restore the profile on our systems is that we use enhanced BIOS settings, which can sometimes be incompatible with the motherboard’s default settings. (A good example of that is configuring the SATA controller with AHCI mode vs the common default IDE compatibility mode. Swapping that setting tends to cause issues with an already installed Windows copy.)
