Broke my new pc

Bennie-Mac · 12 Oct 2008 at 14:55

I tried to overclock my cpu as i had reset it back to the stock settings (2.6GHz) went for a simple clock of 2.8GHz in the bios, hit f10, computer restarts but the monitor wont come on. Fans spin up, LEDs come on but no display of any kind. No mobo beep either like there usually is. Have i fried something??

Any help would be a godsend!

Clear CMOS/take battery out for a few minutes?

Probably just need to reset the BIOS. Depending on the BIOS, hold down INS and reboot. If that doesn't work, pop the battery or use the BIOS reset jumper if the mobo has one.

I very much doubt you killed the CPU unless you whacked the core voltage way up.

Ive taken it out a few mins ago just to be sure, also when i turned on the pc my GFX card had 3 red LEDs lit, can this be caused by a motherboard problem or is it the GFX cards problem?

Thanks guys that sorted it, the GFX error LEDs must have just been cos of the bios problem. Thanks again!
