I was using setfsb to slightly overclock from windows without having to restart and go to BIOS every time for the last couple of months, and since I was leaving the system on for many hours downloading I decided to underclock the FSB to waste less power and produce less heat, and I selected an FSB freq that was slightly lower than the minimum allowed by the BIOS (half the CPU/FSB clock) to see if I could get even more downclock.
Then the PC froze, like it happened many other times when I attempted excessive overclock, but this time it did not startup again, even after I cleared/reset the CMOS and removed battery, the PC tries to power on, all fans and disks start working and then immediately powers off for about 2 seconds and powers on and off again in an infinite loop without posting or beeping.
I didnt know that you could damage hardware like that by underclocking, because all clocks set by SetFSB were gone when the system booted again and damage is only associated with overclocking and heat, but apparently I was wrong.
Do you guys know any solution for this? Is it possible to purchase a clock generator and solder it on the MB? (or maybe not since it is a socket 775 mobo)
