I just recently built a computer (see stats below)
Gigabyte DS3 rev 2
e4300 @2.88ghz
Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Cooler
Ultra V Series 500watt PSU (Yes, I know its crap)
Foxconn 7600GT 256MB DDR3
2x1gb OCZ Platinum Revision 2 PC2 6400 4-4-4-15
Ultra Mid Tower Case
Vista Business 32bit
I was able to get the computer running stable at 320 MHZ bus speed making the processor run at 2.88 ghz. I can't remember the memory multiplier I used but the memory ran at 800mhz 2.0 volts 4-4-4-15 timings. The system ran mid 30's idle and at 60-65 under TAT load test.
I decided to overclock the memory. I changed the memory multiplier so the memory would clock at 960 MHZ. Save my settings and exited BIOS. The computer tried to restart. When it restarted the 2nd time I figure it would just go back to the default BIOS settings. Instead the computer would not display anything, no BIOS beeps, the power light and fans would run, but nothing else. I figure the motherboard had trouble with the memory at the default settings. I tried booting with one stick of memory, and tried each of the memory slots. Also did the same with the other stick of memory but still no activity except for the power light and the fans running.
I also tried clearing the CMOS by removing the battery wait a minute and put it back in. Still got the same power lights and fans running and nothing else.
Did I burn out the memory, or the computer is having trouble with the memory at default settings, or could it be the power supply is the issue even though the fans and power light is working?
Your help would be appreciated.
