System start up problem

[Shade]

I posted a question like this before but nothing seems to help.
I have a soyo dragon kt333 with a t-bird 1.4, which ran fine until I started overclocking it. Now when I reboot it hangs for a very long time. So I flashed the bios, unclocked the chip, uped the Vcore and the mem voltage but nothing seems to return the board back to the way it was before I started overclocking. Any Ideas, oh and I also replaced the cpu to a xp1600. Could I have damaged the psu?

Sounds like a possible corrupted hard drive, how long does it take to boot up? Have you run a disk manager on it?

After the bios screen it boots right up. It just hangs on the screen right before the bios screen. When I am rebooting the LCD will go into test mode and that is where it hangs. I will try a new hard drive with a new image.

Are you overclocking via FSB or multiplier? FSB OC'n can do weird things on certain boards

I overclocked both the fsb and the multiplier. I reset both of them back to normal and the problem still persists.

I've never heard of it happening, but it does sound like a damaged PSU unless your hard drive is corrupt. I'm sorry I can't be more help, but do let us know what it was if you figure the problem out

Okay I set everthing back to normal, reloaded the OS and still the problem persists.

Try removing the cmos battery and letting it sit overnight. If that doesn't work, it sounds like a failing HD. Run a thorough Scan disk and check for sectors.

If that doesn't work, check your volt rails in your bios. If your sitting at 3.15, 4.7, or 11.25; replace your PSU or adjust its pots. Sometimes PSU's bleed voltage after its clock speeds have been modified.

Hope I helped.

Download the disk manager from your hard drive maker and test that hard drive.

You need to put zeros in the boot sector to really clean that hard drive, by the way; is it an IBM?

When I reloaded the hard drive I used a new one. I will check the volts and try pulling the c-mos battery tonight. The hard drives are Western Digital and Seagate. Right now I have 12.28, 3.35, 4.9. Atleast that is what smartgaurdian say. But my agp is red and says 1.79 even though it is set to 1.5.
