I didn't know where to post this really so I just did it here since I have a T-Bird and I can get a quick response here...

Last thing I did to my computer last night was I set it to 152 x 6.5 and overclocked the Voodoo 4 to 190 Mhz. I was trying to get a good 3dmark 2001 score for a Voodoo 4. (I wanna break the record but I'm still waaaaaaaayyyy short) It froze up in 3dmark 2001 at like the 4th part of the benchmark. So it was late at night so I just switched the computer off and went to bed. I come home from school today and I try and turn it on... fans move, light on the motherboard goes on, but I get nothing. Doesn't even post. Does anyone know what might be wrong??:mad:

Reset your cmos and try to boot.

Thanks man, it works now that I cleared the CMOS. I thought my video card or CPU might be dead for a second there.

By the way, when I got it to boot finally it says to me "Your 3dfx graphics card was unable to operate at the higher speeds. Reset to default speeds." How nice that it tells me that now:D :beer: Thanks again d00d.:beer:

one thing about overclocking, you will definitely learn how to clear your cmos.
