Re: Serious COmp Problems
Did you change any other setting while you were trying to OC? Memory divider, HT multiplier, voltage, anything?Comment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
I think your ram crapped out on you to be honest.Comment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
Motherboard then?
Well the RAM is what he overclocked, so it might be that. PSU is fine otherwise the computer will not turn on. Processor, well have you tried replacing that?
If its a motherboard go for a LANPARTY.Comment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
I personally think that he didn't really mess anything up and and it's just a matter of resetting to defaults. He's going to be wasting his money.Comment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
Ok,I did change the CPU voltage, i put it to increase the voltage by 3.3 %, and the other ram didn't work, it jus made my monitor not respond. I know what i'll get, if it's ram, i'm gettin 2x512 sticks of pc3200 Crucial Ballistix ram, and if it's a mobo, i'm gettin hte DFI Lanparty.Originally posted by lil_jimmy_nortonComment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
lil jimmy, if he reseted the BIOS what else can he do?
Eddy, yes get good ram if you want to overclock.Comment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
Buy new quality RAM. I have been trial and error overclocking for a while and I find it hard to believe you can destroy either your CPU or MOBO by doing it (of course I am assuming here you have decent cooling for a non P4 CPU). Quality RAM is extremely important.Comment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
But running a 228HTT shouldn't damage anything, thats what make me think it's just a setting that didn't get put back to default. Either that or he did something else that he didn't mention.Originally posted by NoniComment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
Ok, after the times i put the mobo back into the mobo, it goes into the bios, everything is already back at defaults, no over voltage on CPU, no 228FSB speed, or anything, the multiplier is now back at default startup, and the FSB speed is at 200 again, but once i exit the bios, it reboots and freezes at the screen where it asks you if you would like to enter the BIOs. SO basically it's all back to default, but it can't post at all, i think the mbo is dead, cause if the CPU were dead, it would not work at all.Originally posted by lil_jimmy_nortonComment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
That's what i'm goin to do if needed, i'll get two sticks of Crucial Ballistix Ram:Originally posted by Mutrino
I'm gettin two of those, it's pretty good, the ram timings are 2-2-2-5, it says 2-2-2-6, but it's wrong, all the customer reviews prove that it is 2-2-2-5. And i have default cooling on my AMD, but it seems that people have overclocked to 2.6ghz with stock, plus, the highest the temps went when overclocking was about 38C, the maximum temperature it can take is like 65C.Comment

Re: Serious COmp Problems
I would suggest doing this list of stuff to check:
1: reset the cmos
2: if #1 fails reseat everything *take ram, cpu, and other connectors off and put them back on*
3: if #3 fails hopefully you have a cheap backup equipment to check out your hardware with.
Also best peice of advice for n00bie overclockers is READ everything possible about overclcocking your cpu.
I am running my 2500+ mobile at 2700mhz currently and the only thing holding me back is my psu and cooling.Comment
