Hi, I have the ASRock z77 Extreme6 and the i7-3770k.
I was trying to overclock the cpu and I got 4.8ghz at 1.37v and the temps were around 80c so I decided to try for 4.9ghz.... I set the multiplier to 49 and left the voltage where it was at so I could increase it incrementally as needed. When I did that the pc turned on normally, I got to the desktop and started prime95 blend. A few seconds in of course I get a blue screen stating that I needed more vcore, so I wait out the blue screen and the PC restarts itself but the monitor never shows anything at this point, its completely black and never recognizes a signal.
I tried clearing the CMOS several times to no avail, the problem persists. The code on my motherboard LED flashes a bunch of numbers/letters and then 79 appears and sticks on 79. I've tried removing both my graphics cards and all sticks of ram except one, and connecting the monitor directly to the motherboard and still get the same problem. Do you think my motherboard is damaged?
