Hmm..blown card?

[Frubbish]

*sigh*
My first ever overclock and I think I toasted my Vid Card already...

Here's the specs:

Mobo: GA-8IPE1000 Pro
CPU: p4 2.4c
RAM: 2x matched Corsair XMS 256mb pc3200
Vid Card: ATI Radeon 9500 pro 128mb

All I did was go into bios and up my FSB 5mhz at a time with the starting point being at 200mhz. Once I got to 215 the system would no longer boot, so i clocked it back down to 210 and fired it up again. ran pcmark and it ran great, but about 10 seconds into the 3dmark2001 benchmark the system froze...rebooted, and when windows (XP) started up again it gave me a message saying my video card had a critical error. So I reboot again and reset bios to the fail-safe defaults and load it up again. And now it freezes up a few seconds into any game or benchmark i start up.
Is there any possible way that my vid card is NOT trashed? Reason I ask is because I would think if the card was trashed it would not load up games or start benchmarks at all.

if it was compleatelly trashed, you woulden't see anything at all. I am still new, but all I know what to do is take out video card, put it back in??

Why are you fooling with the BIOS?

use Riva Tuner or something

I was overclocking the mobo, not the card.

Then you probably fudged something on the motherboard, not the video card.

If you were OCing the CPU/Motherboard why didn't you post this in the mobo section? :rolleyes;
