Hi all, well, I tried an OC via FSB and now my machine won't start.
I have a M7NCD Biostar mobo, it just allowes to move the FSB and some RAM settings. My cpu is 333mhz and memories are PC2700 (333mhz) and my mobo supports up to 400mhz.
So I pump up the FSB to 400mhz (200) and set memories to work at 83%, so it gave 333 (166). When I rebooted it passed the bootloader (linux - windows) and then froze. Then I rebooted again to change the bios settings and when I was at bios it froze. Rebooted again and nothing, no video sign at all, just LEDs turned on and fansm, but nothing happening. I reset the bios and still same problem.
The weird thing is the mobo is not beeping as usual when somethings wrong. So i removed the cpu and the die isn't black as a toasted sign or smells. It seems right (for a semi-newbie expertise). And can't tell if anyother part is toasted including the mobo.
What could it be or how can I check it ? I dont have other machine to try the parts one by one.
Is it possible to burn a cpu just increasing the FSB without moving volts ? Cos I can't move them at all, my mobo doesn't support it.
I really need hep with this as I need to know what part got ruined it such case to buy the new one. I don't wanna buy one while the old one works yet.
Thanks
