Hi guys, last week I sold my old rig (i7 2700k, 16gb ram, gtx 680) and in the year I had the system I didn't have a single problem with it. Cut forward to today and I get a phone call from the guy who brought it saying there is a "strange problem" and apparently he hasn't caused it...

As you can see in the pic it gets to the BIOS splash screen and then the dodgy colours and artefacts appear above it and that's as far as the boot up goes! Any idea what the hell he has done? He kept mentioning that he was just getting into overclocking when he picked it up from me so could this be a failed overclock?

Cheers.

It should be at stock still as I didn't overclock it and he won't tell me if he has anyways. Cheers for the advice, will let you know if the cmos works.
 
Seem to be bashing my head against a brick wall! The problem is he's only 15 and swears to me he hasn't done anything even though I know he has as that rig has been the most reliable I've ever had and in the year and a bit I had it I never had a single problem. He won't remove the graphics card as he says he's never done it before and as far as I know there is no on board graphics. Pretty cheesed off as the last thing I want or need is my ebay score being messed up and an angry daddy turning up on my door step claiming I've sold dodgy goods to his son. Going off topic a bit, but please tell me they don't have a leg to stand on as I'll be a few hundred quid out of pocket and dumped with a screwed pc!

Thanks.
