New to building/Overclocking so not sure what to do now

PC just wont boot..

everything seems to run but i get no display at all on the screen. everything plugged in etc but no screen

tried diff screens and still no luck..

had my cpu clocked quite high so could that be it? (look in sig)

any ideas?

so no ideas guys?

tried everything now........ annoying as it DID work fine :mad:

any way of me telling which part is at fault?

oh btw would the beeps come from the mobo? as it doesnt appear to have a speaker lol

Oki new problem

i decided to completely strip it down and rebuild it bit by bit and test each component

now i have a new problem

before it would turn on and run everything but would not POST

now everything flickers for a second and then it shuts down....... it wont power up again untill i have removed the Power lead and then replaced it

reading some other posts i think either my PSU or mobo is dead... :mad:

or possibly both

only thing that stays on is a small Amber light .... top right of mobo

any ideas guys??

oki rebuilt comp from scratch again

it boots now

but now i have the first problem again :S

(tink i had rails wrong way round.. weak one powering drives etc etc)

tink its either a mobo or gfx card problem

get all the lights, drives, fans working just no display on screen

any ideas?
