After 25% OC unable to get to Windows but boots?

[kaisellgren]

Good evening!

My first time OCing my CPU and I have a Intel Q6600 2.4GHz 1066MHz fsb (rated) and I set it to 1333 MHz so I got my 2.4 GHz CPU to 3.0 GHz (multiplyer is 9).

I set everything to auto (I mean those voltages, disabled most technologies temporarily). Then I booted and it did POST and I got into BIOS etc, but it does not load into Windows, it just keeps showing me a blank black screen and no Windows loading screen.

What could be the reason? When I go to BIOS it says I have 3.0 GHz etc and it booted but something is not correct...

Double check with the guide here in the overclocking section.

If that doesn't help you, I would assume that the display option isn't set correctly to PEG if you have a PCIe vidcard. It could very well be instabilities in the ram and cpu, and I suggest not putting the voltages on auto. If this is the problem, it should be addressed by the guide.
