Hello there, I usually dont post on these forums and try my best to find an answer from an existing thread. However, my situation is very unique and I could definitely use some help! First off, I work in the IT field and have built countless systems, I know my way around a computer very well, which is why this is so infuriating.
Specs:
MOBO: Asus m5a99fx pro 2.0
CPU: AMD FX 8350
RAM: 16gb Corsair Vengeance 1866
GPU: Gigabyte windforce 780 ti 3gb
PSU: 750w EVGA 80+ Gold
CPU Cooler: Deepcool Captain 240mm Liquid Cooler
Ill start from the top, I attempted to overclock my AMD FX 8350 to 4.5 Ghz with 1.42v( I have overclocked this processor before and have been running at 4.3Ghz and 1.35v for awhile now with no issues). Now, I ran a stability test for three hours and everything was looking fine, temps were around 50 degrees Celsius throughout. However, while I was monitoring the stability test, my computer shut down, no blue screen no error, nothing. So naturally I try to boot it back up. It turned on and began to POST but was cut short and shut down again, this will happen over and over again. First thing I tried to do (given that I thought I fried my cpu): took the RAM out and attempted to boot, I get beeps indicating there is RAM missing, however when I reinsert the RAM it goes back to attempting to POST then failing. To my understanding, if the CPU, PSU, or Mobo were bad, wouldnt there be no beeps? Next I tried to clear the cmos battery and left unplugged overnight. Didnt help. Tried resetting CMOS via the jumper, no go. I have an asus mobo with bios flashback utility. So I tried to reflash the bios assuming the overclock was actually unstable and thought that setting clock settings to default would fix it, still does the same thing. I tried pressing MEMok on my mobo to fix potential RAM issues, that didnt help either.
At this point I have no idea what to do and could use some help from someone more advanced and experienced than me.
