I made a fresh reformat-reinstall of windowsXP today, and after a bit of getting everything back on the computer(just windows updates, drivers, that kind of stuff) I thought I'd try overclocking since I just got new 3200 ddr ram.
I have a KT400 dragon ultra and 1.4ghz tbird... so I overclocked to 166fsb without problems, lowered multiplyer so I was running 1.3ghz I think it was. then I tried 200fsb total speed at 1.4ghz and it wouldn't boot. it would make one beep and then just sit there doing nothing, so I tried turning it off a few times to see if it would do anything, nothing. I finally decided to try clearing the cmos, I went in, I unplugged the computer, switched the jumper, waited a while, switched itback, plugged it allback in, turned it on and... it won't boot at all. it doesn't beep at all, all that happens is the fans start up and the lights blink a few times before eventually just powering off. I have no idea what to do now, my computer won't boot, I don't know if I skrewed it up when I tried to clear the cmos... could I have done something non-fixable? =/
I could really use advice right now...
