Cannot Load Windows After Over Clock.

3991vhtes · Jun 21, 2007, 07:28 PM

hey,
I recently screwed up my rig 2 (i think). ok i tried to overclock it from 931 to 970MHz, then i got 1 beep then checked my pc book (bad memory) so then I clocked it back to 931, but then after POST, it would go to the windows ME screen, then after that, I get a black screen, so I clocked it down to stock 850MHz, but I still get the error. I even reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Me, but that didn't help

. what could I do???

go into the BIOS, and look around to see if there's an option called Load Fail-Safe defualts or similar. Activate it, save and try again. I fthat does'nt work, well.... time to get yourslef a new 'puter. Or you could try a spare CPU.

I loaded failsafe options and I still got the same error. I can't get a spare CPU either. Spec:

MSI KM2M Combo Mobo
AMD Athlon 850MHz
RAM - PC133 256MB (Kingston ValurRAM) and PC100 64MB (unknown name) 3.3volt
Maxtor Hard Drive 10GB

3991vhtes...didn't he blow up a computer
u SHOULDN'T overclock "old" boards without PCI BUS LOCKS! hardware can fail!
if u getting a loading screen and then black screen, some kind of video error either driver not installed or need to disable onboard video (common issue on old boards)

3991vhtes · Jun 21, 2007, 08:17 PM

if this helps at all I changed the CPU Host / PCI clock from 100 / 33MHz to 115 / 33MHz

hat · Jun 21, 2007, 08:29 PM

Change EVERYTHING back to stock. Next time you overclock, lock your PCI bus.

3991vhtes · Jun 21, 2007, 08:32 PM

everything is stock...maybe it could be a harddrive error. last night I was on it, ya know, it was all good, doing some libertybasic programming, then i shut it down. then today i turned it on...then i got this problem.

3991vhtes · Jun 21, 2007, 10:15 PM

Ok, I just remembered that I hooked it up to my Dell E773c monitor and set the resolution at 1280 x 1024 last night. then I put it back to my COMPAQ 1024 this morning (which will go up to a resolution of 1024 x 768) so, anyways, i rehooked it up to my Dell monitor, and everything went good

. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
