help!! crapped up on overclock

[ady_flame]

so i decided to mess around in the bios yes im stupid

i was looking at locking the agp/pci bus, so i could overclock the FSB even more

i think i "locked" that, then changed the FSB to 225

i rebooted, and it wouldnt boot, so i took out the m/b battery

now it boots all wrong, and weird

i sometimes get a message saying that a file is currupt (that is what killed off my last pc)

i cant enter bios, as it sortve just freezes etc

is this game over for my pc ? do i have to reformat ?

The corrupt file is becasue the CPU isn't stable so it isn't processing correctly.



I can't help with the bios bit, but basically you need to reset the bios to defualt!

If your posting i assume you have another PC handy. If worst comes to worst re-flash it. reset it every method possible 1st though.

yer im on a laptop right now, but only got it for the next 2 weeks :S

i dont have a motherboard manual on hwo to reset to default

all ive tried is taking about battery for hour or so

so you dont think that the data on the hard drive is corrupt or anything?

 

[Toxcity]

Agreed! Does the Motherboard have a CMOS reset jumper?

If it doesn't its weird!

If not that do you have a spare processor? I once fix my bios start up by changing the processor model. So it had to re-think the settings!

Ermm.. That it really..! But a re-flash is if all fails!

The harddrive info isn't corrupt! Its fine.. Just the CPU is instable..

ahh hehe

well, i took out the battery again after posting earlier, came back 1-2 hours later and it reset i guess

everything fine !

but if it hadnt been lol im sure that news wouldve been comforting ie. no corrupt data

cheers guys !

Don't run off just yet,

next time you want to overclock, do smaller increments. Your cpu or even ram might be limiting you, they may need more voltage, they may need to be tuned (timings and such). Next time try 3-5fsb at a time.

Also do your research on your motherboard and find that cmos reset jumper will be alot easyer in future. Also not sure on your model but alot of motherboards if you hold f1 when you push power or after you hit reset it will reset defaults and let you enter bios.

Indeed, practically all mobo manufacturers have a download section with atleast a pdf of their manuals.

.. and u`r right, the silly thing is that manufacturers vary this cmos reseting keyboard key, or key combination. Be nice if they weren`t pig-headed and agreed on one.

ok cheers ill check it out

and i usually do jumps of only 1-2 mhz, but for some reason i just wanted to see if it would boot with a ludicrous number lol, i guess i was wrong
