hi


I need help i have done something to my computer. :confused:

I was trying to overclock my rig see 1st rig in sig for specs
i saved changes then exit now i just get a blank screen there is power as my system will start but not load the setup screen i have tryed flashing the bios and cmos but no luck i dont know what else it could be i was think i migth have blown the cpu or something i test the video card that is fine


i really need help anything u can think off would be great

does the bios load at all. If so, if you can get into it you should just reset to defaults. Otherwise try to reset your jumpers. Check your manual for location. Also does your board have any error logging lights or sounds. those will also help.

[ComputerGuy87]

no that is the thing the bios does not load at all.

all jumps are set to stock i think but will look

[DuffMan]

See if resetting your bios fixes it. If not, there should be some sort of indication of what is not starting durring loading. You will hear a series of beeps, or lights on the back of your board. Otherwise you need to test all your components.

i have check my diagnostic led and this what the problem is testing RTC(real Time clock) no idea what it means

Clear the CMOS for a few minutes and then try again. Most likely you overclocked too high so the system is unable to POST now, you need to force the BIOS to forget that overclock.

Remember, when overclocking, do it a little at a time - don't try and bump it up 500MHz or so in one shot, or you get problems like this!

[ComputerGuy87]

clear cmos when comp is off rigth

[DuffMan]

yes.

Remember to have the power supply unplugged too.

[ComputerGuy87]

well i tryed Clearing the CMOS agian still not luck i think my board or chip is gone :(

Swap the clear CMOS jumper to "reset" and leave it that way for a while. Watch a show or go jump off a bridge. Come back and put it back to the default setting. Try again. If that doesn't work put the jumper back to reset and physically remove the battery from the motherboard. After you watch a show or jump from a bridge put the battery back in and swap the jumper back to the default setting.

[rcofell]

Try taking out the battery too?

EDIT: bah, you barely beat me to it :p:

[ComputerGuy87]

yep taking battery out as well still no luck

[rcofell]

Have any other processors to try?

[ComputerGuy87]

yer i have a duron 1.2ghz or a 2200+ but the 2200+ is in my dads computer computer

[rcofell]

I'd try putting the duron in it, it might force the board to reset if its still good.

[ComputerGuy87]

found out what happend my processors blown so i got to get a new one

[Major_A]

That sucks, but glad you figured it out and got it working again.

[ComputerGuy87]

yer only problaem i can only afford is a AMD Sempron 32-bit :(

[rcofell]

:( Finding the problem was bittersweet.

[ComputerGuy87]

yer i know so i got a AMD Sempron 2600+ 64bit and new mobo

[IYP]

you sure you blew it? what volts were you at?

[ComputerGuy87]

yep i tryed my athlon 2200+ in it worked fine put the 3200+ back in no luck i tryed ever thing to save me money
