Christ, here's the scenario. I was overclocking and everything was going fine. I had my PC at 266 x 12 and stable with 1.4v. I decided to try a different equation and set the FSB to 295 and the multi to 10. When I went to boot, the PC froze. Then it wouldn't boot whatsoever. So I removed the battery, waited 30 seconds, reinstalled the battery. PC booted. I reset everything to stock in the BIOS and then tried booting into Windows.
No go. Windows XP would not boot. I had a dual-boot setup going with Vista as well. Vista would boot fine but not XP. So I did a complete reinstall of XP. I'm done with that all now, but when I loaded HWMonitor, I noticed it only shows one core temperature. So I downloaded Prime95, started it and only 1 core was running.
I didn't go beyond the capabilities of the processor, so my only thought is that the increase to the FSB has fried my motherboard. Any thoughts?
