Well I'm a noob at overclocking so I attempted to overclock for the first time on my A4-3300 locked multiplier 2.5ghz APU.
I got it to 2.6ghz and it was fairly stable and temps were around 50-55 on full load.
I wanted to go higher so I changed the frequency to 2.65 and slightly increased the voltage in both the ram and cpu.
I selected save and reboot but the PC wouldn't boot up properly.
It said on my monitor that my pc was in power saving mode; move mouse, press a key on the keyboard or power button.
The pc sounded like it was booting up as normal, it made 1 beeping sound when it booted up as normal.
So I couldn't do anything. I was going to reset the bios from the motherboard but I decided to plug in my dedicated graphics card in and hook my monitor into that instead.
And now my pc works.
What happened?
