SYSTEM HELP NEEDED, URGENT

BlowitupBazza · 24 Oct 2006 at 20:36

Right then I have an ASUS A78N deluxe mobo running a AMD 2800+ chip, about nine months ago I uprated the CPU and case cooling and overclocked the chip to run as a 3200+. It was fine for ages, then about a week ago every time I load up a graphically intense game GTA etc I get the annoying warning voice saying system failed cpu test, every 2 seconds. The game will run fine, but I have to have the sound turned right down.

I have tried turning it off either in the ASUS utility and in the bios but I can't seem to do it, whats going on, help please before I kick the machine out of the window

it means your overclock has failed.......lower your overclock a few mhz to see if that fixes it....

this can happen with over clocks over a period of time due to several diff reasons...

I cranked it down to the original settings for my chip, and it's still doing it, have I bust my CPU?

Try Resetting CMOS (revert to your motherboard manual)

Only way to know would plonk another cpu in. You still got the old one?.....

What socket is that board?...... Socket A?..... i got a Duron sitting around i could send you to test with if need be. For a couple of quid to cover post of course...
