As the topic says, my computer pretty much died.
well that is, it will boot up, and start loading windows. then it gives me a blue screen saying something, which i can't read, because they have it only stay up, for a second, then the computer restarts.
i cleared my cmos, and set all my defults back to normal ( no oc'ing ) well...it didn't do a single thing.
i havn't really made much of a change. my FSB has stayed at 250 for the longest time. i ran the computer at 2.5Ghz for a while now, without a single problem. the only thing i ever did was slowly drop the voltage to the CPU, to try to get better temps.
The computer was working just fine last night. was playing games, running boinc without a single problem.
do you think my OC could have corrupt windows? I just need some idea's here. I hope i didn't fry my ram, because i had it at 250fsb, and 3.3 volts. but i had a fan blowing on it the entire time, and the ram never even got warm. but god help everyone who is around me if i fried my ram....150 bucks for that one 512mb stick....i won't be happy.
i'm about to run Memtest and see what that says. ( had to get on my dads computer and download the iso of the file, and burn it to a disc, cause his floppy drive died on him a long time ago, and he has never had the need to get another one, cause he hasn't needed it )
sooo, i'll be back in a few with my memtest update.
anyone have any idea's other than ram though??
