computer messed up again.... now it aint turning on at all

SiNNoNe · August 30th, 2007, 04:39 AM

The pc was overclocked
FSB 240
multx10
everything else was locked in place as the fsb tends to overclock everythign else. all of a sudden i was on windows and the comp was slowing down alot. I restarted the comp and i was gonna start it in vista and it messsed up at the start. at the start it didnt even hit the bios. it just stayed blank. i went to school and came back. i did as previously instruced in my previous thread with the same problem. took out the battery and put it back. pluged wire and turned it on and it started up and i went into bios and overclocked it to 240x10 again and i locked everything else in place and i lowered the voltage a bit. i restarted with saved settings and it wouldnt start up. I dont know what do know because it isnt turning on. even after i tried fixing it by removing battry and i also tried switching the jumpers to clear bios just incase. nothing.. whats wrong with it now? it was running the speeds fine before.

Check your memory sticks ( remove one, power up, if it fails shutdown remove the other one, power up again, if you dont have two memory sticks or both are not working get another one or try without memory sticks). Please stop creating threads like this, just keep it in the same thread to avoid confusions later.

the process of elimination

as xia says start with one stick of ram

any other spares you got laying around can be swapped out for testing
i.e psu

dust slows things down too make sure the heatsink can breath

first why are u forcing your pc with higher clocks anyway ????
remove power cables from your board and then remove battery (again) for 10 min
then put it back and set up for optimal clock 200-233

edit
dose your board have dual bios ????

do you have proper cooling on your cpu and chipset??

Well the best option about the bios i think is flash it ... to the same one or higher version.. And normaly for the cooling about the chipset anybody have the proper one it's the company put the stock cooler on it

excuse the new thread, i didnt want to cause confusion. I just thought no one followed it anymore. But how i fixed my comp was i removed the ram... both of em and started the comp to see if it gives me a boot failure sound and it did. so i knew cpu was not fried. i checked for burn marks and there was none. I started comp again with ram and it didnt display or boot properly sso i shut off again and took out one of the vid card(Primary) and tried attaching the monitor display cable into my secondary card and see if it worked and haleluyahh it did. I put the primary card back in, attached all the power cables but then my comp wouldnt turn on. Power was going to the board but comp wouldnt turn on. then i figured out the power to the power button and speaker and such was disconnected so i connected it, reattached cpu fans and the rest (usb, ethernet, sound) of the cables and turned on comp and fixed up the bios and it ran fine.

Currently the fsb is at 226x11 and it seems to work fine.

and i have goood cooling i have the alienware arctic cooling solution (green). so 1 fan for the HDS, 1 fan in the front to supply front to back air flow, one fan blowing in on the case door thingy, and then i have 2 suction fans. so i think thats good enough right?

current gpu temps stick to 60about (idle) i dont know about full load since i dont know how to log the temps. but my cpu temp is doing fine its at 33c now, and at full load i suppose it cna hit around 40-50 maybe 55 even. the ram is at 667, but since its oced its frequency is upped to 355.2 and i dont know how to play with the ram properly or its timings so im leaving it alone. Currently my comp keeps freezing while im playing counter-strike condition zero. What does that mean?

gen.Rage1991hrv · August 31st, 2007, 01:20 AM

cpu temps or ddr or even a gpu temps

what cpu temps are on normal setup (fsb) ???

Does it freeze if you revert to stock settings?
Is the AMD dual core optimizer installed?
