Killed my Audigy 2 by OC'ing to 150 FSB?

[ChowYunFett]

A couple of days ago I set my FSB from 133 to 150 on an AMD 1600+ (Mainboard Abit NF7)

The systems was perfectly stable at first. Now, after a reboot my System detects no Audigy 2 present. Complete XP reinstall didnt help!

Driver won't reinstall, detects no sound card

Can setting your FSB to a non-standard FSB kill your Sound Card?

Anybody got some hints? Would appreciate it

No it cant, but without PCI\AGP locks it is possible..

 

[Mr.Radar]

Did you have your AGP bus speed set to Auto in the BIOS? If so, then yes, you could have fried it with FSB overclocking.

 

[Mr.Guvernment]

try it in another PCI slot? or another computer

Also, sometimes other components become unstable with overclocking. I know on my old motherboard whenever I'd OC the Wireless PCI adapter would stop working, and I'd lose sound. (audigy 2 zs at the time). Did you try pulling back on the fsb overclock?

nf7 should have agp/pci lock on by default.
Seems strange to me.

I had some problems with my NF7-S vers2 and the Audigy LS when overclocking too.Locked pci bus and all. I have no idea why.

Thx guys. AGP speed was locked at 66 all the time. I *have* pulled back the oc, I'm at 133 now, still doesn't work. I tried it in another PCI slot, but not yet in another computer.

How did you fix it? Did you at all?

 

[stratcatprowlin]

Nope! Seems the LS was a POS! Did the same thing on 3 mobo's.2 different cards too.I returned them both.

 

[ChowYunFett]

Okay, doesn't work in another rig either

Guess my Audigy is toast, for whatever reason.
