System Specs

No Picture on Boot

Hey,

Was helping a mate overclock his PC. Got it clocked and to desktop, then restarted to change some more, but on that boot it failed to load any picture. The same with every boot attempt.

Everything but that is running, and all cables are correct.

What could it be?

Thanks

When you say "failed to load any picture" do you mean that there is no display? Probablly best to post the specs of the system. What video card are they running? Is the overclock stable?

BTW when you get a stable clock and all is good save the profile to bios in CMOS reloaded, that way if he wants to play around and thinks go crazy again, he has a profile loaded to boot when he needs to flash the CMOS.
