What did I kill?

Vegeta · 5 Apr 2006 at 22:06

Right I was messing around with overclocking, and for some reason I thought wouldnt it be fun to see what kind of overclock I could get putting all voltages to full, so CPU was around 1.69, ram 2.85 and morthbridge around 1.85 I think, I set all these values to bios it restarts, then power off NOTHING.
I frantically try clearing the Cmos, press on button - nothing!

Specs
Venice 3200 on Arctic cooler pro 64
Gigabyte 6800ultra
1gig ram (geil ultra corsair xmscpt2)
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Motherboard.
X-Pro 460W Psu.

I know im a idiot but what is the likely cause of this, hope to god it isnt broken but I cant see how it isnt.

it has to be said, that was a bit of a silly thing to do, have u unpluged the computer before clearing the CMOS?

Most likely the processor as the chipset can handle those voltages and the RAM can aswell.

if this doesnt work remove the battery and put it back in get your motherboard manual and make sure there isnt a jumper on the board thatu have to set for safe mode ,these are rare but some do have them.
you shouldnt have killed anything if your mobo is worth its salt it should have realised somthing was wrong the minute you rebooted and prevented it from starting up.
now if you had somehow got it to start that would be a diffrent story then theres a good chance it would be dead.
what are your system specs?

Thank god, I unplugged everything and now its working again, I switched the PSU off at the back but this didnt do anything, unplugging seem to have made a difference.

i suggest you restrain yourself from your overclocking wims

Try doing it the conventional way next time; very very lucky there.

Vegeta · 5 Apr 2006 at 23:15

Yeah I dont think i'll be doing that in a rush again, I kinda convinced myself thinking it would be fine to just up the volts to max, then max everything our rather than all the effort, stupid idea but happens when you get frustrated spend hours tweaking slowly.

Why dont you try to hook up a 9V battery on your grapics card somehow?

Vegeta · 5 Apr 2006 at 23:32

worth a try like see what core i get
