Hey guys
Well I¡¦ve now had my first attempt at overclocking and it was an abysmal failure ƒ¼, I¡¦m asking if anyone can give me info on how to save my computer or failing that telling me what I did wrong so I don¡¦t do it when I get my shiny new computer and ah heck that up too¡K.please help!!!
Ok to start with I¡¦ll tell you what my system is/was¡K it was a thunderbird 1ghz cpu on an asus a7v133 mobo with 192mb of 100sdram (3x64) geforce 256 (the original, it¡¦s had a good long life ^_^)¡K.
Now I was trying to overclock it, during the process I ran into numerous crashes etc and had trouble finding the CMOS to reset the bios¡Kanyway now when I start up my computer it only makes it so far (almost logs into windows) then locks up if you reset it will make it only halfway to booting windows reset again and it won¡¦t even make it past bios¡K.leave it off for a while and it might make it a bit further when you turn it back on, this is after changing the bios settings back to default ƒ¼¡K.
To let you know how far I pushed it, the most I tried was getting it to run at 133fsb with 133 memory and consequently a 1330mhz cpu speed I also increased the voltage at one point hoping it would stop crashes the most I raised it was by .15v taking it to 1.65v¡KI didn¡¦t think that would be enough to damage it but it seems to be stuffed ƒ¼ any help comments or suggestions would be appreciated greatly
If I left any important info out please let me know and I¡¦ll post it straight away¡K
