PC takes a while to boot up after a failed overclock.

Hi guys.

When i come to overclock it takes a very long time to get anywhere with it because every time it fails it takes a good 20 minutes before it will successfully boot again. During this time the PC will turn on but my monitor won't pick anything up, then after a while it will come on then go off again (for ~1 second) then come on automatically and boot properly.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Surely failed Oc. When overclocking only increase fsb little by little, increase the vcore[by a bit], and check the temps.
For now, restore default settings, then attempt to oc again- reasonably.

With some systems, some delay is normal. Gigabyte motherboards generally need 5 - 10 secs to find a bootable configuration. The older Asus motherboards required you to clear the CMOS RAM. I do not know what AsRock does.

I know that 20 minutes seems excessive.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah i knew it was because of a failed overclock, sorry i wasn't more clear. I just wondered why it took so long to be bootable again. Also yeah i have been raising things only little by little but it still takes a very long time to reboot properly.
