SOLVED Black screen at 280 FSB on Gigabyte DS3
Hi,
This is my first post on this forum, so please threat me as a newbie.
Actually this is the first time when I try to OC something.
I'm have the following config:
Gigabyte DS3, E6400, 1GB 667 MHz ram Hynix, ASUS Radeon X1300pro silent, 2x Samsung HDD, 1x DVD drive, 400W PSU SuperFlower Atlas, Zalman 7700 on CPU.
The RAM is 1 modul, so running in single channel.
I followed instructions posted here.
I did the followings:
1. Installed Windows and all drivers.
2. Upgraded BIOS to the latest version.
3. Set PCI express to 100 MHz and memory timings to 5-5-5-15.
3. I applied the following changes in BIOS:
CPU voltage set to 1.4V
Chipset voltage +0.1V
Set FSB to 280.
I left other settings on 'Auto'.
Result:
When I turn on the computer, the monitor does not turn on, remains in standby. However I can hear windows starting up (I mean the welcome sound from my speakers). I press power button, than windows turns off (goodbye sound from speakers).
After pressing reset for a few seconds, mobo sets all frequency setting back to 'auto' and everything starts to work normally, the monitor turns on at next start-up. After booting into windows, windows says that the desktop settings had been changed (color depth and screen resolution) and asked me if I want to restore or not. I did not restore, but checked in settings. Nothing was changed everything was that value that I set at windows setup.
I also tried:
1. Set PCI-ex speed to 'auto' instead of 100 MHz, but it did not solve the problem. So I changed back to 100 MHz. FSB was 280 in this case.
2. Set FSB to 275. Monitor worked, I had picture. However when I booted to windows, windows said that network cable had been unplugged (LAN internet) and it did not connect to the net. (Of course I did not touch the cable.) Maybe this is an other problem, not related here. I went back to 266 FSB.
3. I was curious how my memory is performing, so I changed memory frequency to 400 by increasing multiplier to 3x and increased mem voltage to 1.9V. (Mem default is 333 and 1.8V) PCI-ex was 100 Mhz, FSB was 266 at this time. I successfully booted into windows, kept computer running for a few minutes than I decided this is enough to see memory is not related to my problem and changed back to default mem speed.
I think theoritically memory is be bottleneck in my system, so I hope that I can reach 400 FSB with this config.
It seems black screen problem is related to FSB somehow.
Could someone help me on this problem? I don't really have any idea how to solve this.
