Reply: (edit)How come i never hear about these kind of problems wth intel systems? all i can think of is maybe you currupted the bios or maybe broke the m/b in some way?? maybe someone else has a better suggestion.

Reply: (edit)If it is the bios you could of avoided that if you had a gigabyte dual bios m/b if one bios chip gets currupted or even erased the backup bios chip will backup the main bios chip. just thought i would mention that for people that don't know.

Reply: (edit)What do you expect.. it's possible to currupt your bios by overclocking too much, right johnoh? it's the only thing i can think of cause usually even if you have no hard drive connected it will still boot to the bios, so it's not the hard drive. so the only thing left is the cpu/ram/vcard and there's only i small chance that you broke the cpu and the same with the ram, so that will leave you with just the m/b and p/s, now which one is more likly to cause problems after ocing.. the m/b. and the only poblem i can think of that you could caused is either currupted the bios or burnt something on the board.

Reply: (edit)Turn the monitor off for a few minutes. Restart the system and see if the vid card resets the monitor. Make sure the vid card seats right. Does the monitor light change to green when you boot up? Constant re-booting from overclocking trials could affect the monitor refresh rate when the monitor is not power down completely. Hope it helps.

Reply: (edit)So you started pumping this thing up without having any idea you could kill it? Most motherboards have a jumper that allows you to clear the cmos/bios. The instructions for doing so are in your motherboard manual. On the bright side, you're only messing with about $200 worth of gear and can be at 2600+ shortly after a quick trip to the store.
