Hi guys,
So finally tried to overclock i7 950, messed with some settings i found on overclock.net here (http://www.overclock.net/intel-motherboards/662236-asus-p6x58d-premium-e-thread-17.html#post8440597), tried some out whilst tweaking and when it reached the 'starting windows' it crashed. so i loaded default settings from bios and now it won't even load into windows again. I can get back into windows after messing with cpu voltage some more but this doesnt make sense when it was running okay on default beforehand. Is it damaged or am i just doing something wrong here?
Also using H60 corsair cooler.
p.a Can anyone point me in a good direction for a noobie? I have overclocked in the past but this was a good few years ago, a lot has changed and i feel like a complete novice again.
