You all probably know the answer so here you can help me - I had a darling little overclock on this system with 12x196, temps 46 under load, (I had a solution coming soon to lower that) buffalo ch-5 memory, but couldn't get 200 fsb. I got greedy.
I was happily benching at 12x197 a week ago when all hell broke loose; black screen and ff always. I cleared the cmos and spent the week happily babying this thing under optimal bios settings. A couple of glitches but all was fine.
Tonight I set my usual (not optimal) bios defaults, checked 3 times, except that I left the cpu settings, voltages at defaults. To be safe.
Can't boot into windows; can't even save bios settings anymore - the bios window just sits there under "load fail safe settings"
The one time I could boot into windows was in safe mode. I booted then 5 times in windows to be sure but the minute I went into the bios the window just froze when I tried to load a new setting (optimal). Is my motherboard dead or am I just an idiot or do I have a solution I'm overlooking?
The answer to the first line is, DON;T be greedy but who doesn't want a cute over 200 fsb?
I never went over 1.825 vcore or 2.9 (briefly) vdimm with this system.
