I have recenty had to order a new bios after the same problem happens to me. You tried to update your bios in windows, didn't you? Try pressing F1, windows should still work You have an AMI bios right? It managed to run windows atleast but: Reduced Performance Failure to overclock at...

Ok, but will it definetly boot up with it? My bios says my max cpu bus is 375mhz, so in theory that's 750mhz it could run at if I changed the settings Don't see why it'w 375mhz (1500mhz) if it says it can only take 266mhz (1066) fsb

oh sorry! I thought the railings were on that page Here's a photo of the psu All i need is less than 220W, don't really give a :swear: about railings, just don't want my parts to be destroyed Not that good, but I don't need a high-end psu. As long as it works, I'd rather spend money on...

Probably rather spend it on the ram. If my old psu fails New Computer PC 550W ATX Power Supply Silent Dual Fan - eBay Standard ATX, Power Supplies, Components, Upgrades, Computers. (end time 14-Feb-08 14:17:02 AEDST) I have that one still in my cubboard as a spare. Don't really need a better...

I have an asrock board, by default they always downclock DDR 400 to 333mhz. I just switched it back trouble free. Try booting up with the old ram and the new cpu. If it still happens then that means the cpu is pretty :swear:ed up and you should never use it again.

Yeah, by the time I got to DDR 500mhz and 2.3ghz I had to clr_cmos temps are low, need faster ram :)

Listen The speed of an FSB is often multiplied by four times, a "800mhz" fsb is only 200mhz, and DDR, which is double date rate, is actually 200mhz. E.g a 200mhz fsb and a 10x multiplyer for a 2ghz cpu The only thing that matters is that the ram data rate is the same as the fsb, or higher. If...

My motherboard ASRock Motherboard - Product - 4COREDUAL-SATA2 - Overview I want to get this ram 2GB 800 Corsair Dual Channel 2*1 GB DDR PC 6400 CL4 RAM - eBay DDR2, Memory, RAM, Components, Upgrades, Computers. (end time 16-Mar-08 18:09:32 AEDST) Would it just downclock it if I used it, and...

Try "reset to optimized defaults" on your bios Make sure you don't confuse the original data rate with the double data rate, it can be shown in the bios as both.

Thanks, this is pretty useful. Would buying low-latency ram increase performance much?

What board did you have that broke?

no, never used it before. Just got it randomly off ebay to be cheap I'm gona spend my money on this 2GB 800 Corsair Dual Channel 2*1 GB DDR PC 6400 CL4 RAM - eBay DDR2, Memory, RAM, Components, Upgrades, Computers. (end time 16-Mar-08 18:09:32 AEDST) Using that and my good cooling, I'm aiming...

I also decided to spend that much now, and it would last for years and I wouldn't have to spend more later on Please read the ebay link, that shows the psu specs

try using a different psu (if you have a spare), it seems it may have failed. Or it could be your motherboard, when I booted up my broken board before in a similar situation my display did not come on. If the capacitor is near the cpu/ram/chipset it might fail, anything on the left side of your...

where on the pc did it hit? Check the inside of your pc for any visible damage. It could be one of the psu cable is broken or unplugged, try with another one. Make sure the 20/24 pin and the 4-pin are both plugged in and see what happens when you unplug the 4-pin and boot up.

Thanks for that. I have a Pentium Dual-core E2160, which runs at 1.8ghz. I am aiming to overclock it to 2.7ghz, once I get some DDR2. That is why I have the good cooling. The board is fairly good overclocking, atm I'm just taking care of afew bios issues before I start. My DVD drive is white...
