hi,

yesterday i overclocked my cpu to 3ghz (q6600) i added no extra voltage all settings where on auto. i played crysis for several hours also. i then did a virus scan and left the pc on over night.

i woke up to a frozen screen, so i powered off and rebooted. now i cant reboot. i get no post, no beeps and a blank screen. the fans come on and dvdv drive light comes on as does my hard drive.

has my mobo died or is it my cpu?

tx in advance

Unplug your PSU

Take out the motherboard battery.

Go and make a brew

Come back to pc and re-insert battery

plug power cable back in psu

boot pc

Say thank you

have tried reseting cmos with the jumper and i have left the bettery out and replaced tried several combos and on own. a lot of times nothing still no post beeps etc.

however it has posted twice once though my monitor and the second time through my tv (both are connected). once i was in the bios i changed i few settings, nothing major like trun of ide change graphics to pci-e then it would freeze in the bios. on reboot back to square one no post beeps etc..

i have tried a different card, unplugging things one by one and still no post or beeps.

any ideas?

try a different psu . it does sound like a power issue.
