Problem

[Chrisdafu]

Ok, I was over clocking my Duron 1.0 and I had it up to 1.12 fine and when I tried to go higher nothing would come up on my moniter, abosolutly nothing. I have the moniter connected and everything but when I took out the battery on the mobo and restarted everything worked fine but it went back to 1.0. I tried it again and it did the same thing. I took out the battery again and now it still doesnt work. Does anyone have any idea of what this is? I have very little experience with overclocking so I dont know but I think I may have fried it.:(

Well the reason the video wouldn't come up or anything could be a couple of reasons. Your temperatures could have goten too high, the mb or proccessor didn't like the fsb or just didn't like the speed, or maybe one of your cards didn't like the fsb. Now what you probably should have done is find the jumper on your board that clears cmos. By clearing cmos it gets rid of the values that it wouldn't load on. Try doing this and see what happens. If you don't know what jumpers are or where they are i suggest reading through your motherboard manual first. Let's try and get the system to boot before we work on the overclock. How long did you run the system the last time before you shut it down?

And don't forget the little things like unplugging the computer while you clear the cmos. When you clear the cmos all of your bios data is returned to default. Hope this helps.

I thought of this like 15 minutes after I posted this last night but I couldnt do it cuz my mom was nagging at me to go to bed. Im at school now but Im going to do this when I get home. It was running good at 1.12 for like 2 days and I had no problems. And when I do the jumper thing do I have to turn it on with the thing swithched or do I just put it on the other pins for a few seconds then put it back???

It's safest to clear your BIOS by: Unplug the PS from its outlet. Unplug the 20-pin power connector that runs from the PS to the mainboard. Remove the CMOS battery from its "pocket" for fifteen minutes. A little strip of electrical tape makes this much easier.

Then replace the battery, re-connect the 20-pin ATX power plug. And plug the PS back into the AC power source.

Shorting jumpers, or worse the tightfisted little solder points that Asus uses can get you in trouble. The above method can't.

To clear your cmos - unplug the power cord from the power supply, set the jumper to the clear position - as stated in your manual - after a sec or so, set the jumper back to its normal position. Plug the power cord back in, and hit the power button. Enter cmos and reconfigure.

If you had your system running at 1.12 on a 1.0 chip, and trying to go above that you may be encountering 1 of several problems - not enough vcore voltage, CPU temps to high, fsb to high for PCI cards or memory, etc...

When you increase your multiplier or fsb above 1.12 and you get no video when you try to power it on, it means that the system will not post at the current config and you will have to clear cmos to get the system back.
