Little problem over here!

[TheCenturion]

Started with a bad overclock. I have a geforce 6800, i overclocked from 325/600 to 400/720, it was running at about 67c which i thought was quite cool considering. suddenly system crashes while playing half life deathmatch!!! agghh, can log into XP for a few minutes then it will just die! I can boot into vga mode, @ 800x600, gpu-z says my clocks are @ 0 mhz, and in rivatuner it says forceware detected but cannot get onto the menu to get back to original speeds! I have tried removing drivers and using plug n play drivers, so far not much has changed! Does anybody know anyway to fix pc?

well, it was 720 ddr, now it is 0 ddr, the software used to overclock was nvidia ntune

720 effective, 360 real, sorry for the misunderstanding, not THAT big an overclock

after removing and reinstalling 169.21 forceware, the pc worked now, then i restarted because i wanted to overclock a bit using rivatuner, then after a minute of logging in, both screens just go blank

at stock speeds, but i'm reinstalling drivers again, oh well, I'll just have to play Call of duty 4 at stock speeds at 1024x768 and just get 15fps. no overclock for me

Sorry, it's pciE

It's not worth overclocking that ancient card. Even if you did get a good overclock your'll go from 15FPS to around 17FPS, hardly worth it!

You can buy such cheap cards these days that are better than the 6800.

but no space in my dell xps (I know, one of the biggest mistakes of my life!)
Trying to convince my dad to let me upgrade, he wont do it
If he gave the thumbs up I'd build my own system
