Computer Problem

[MielkeHBP]

My system ran fine for almost 4 years. Then the other day someone told me to overlock it. And all I did was went into the bios, im pretty sure I didnt change anything, but now my computer doesnt work. When my computer starts to boot windows it often shows that "last working configuration" and then it tries to boot and restarts and does it again. A week before that I got a blue screen on startup (pre os) saying bad driver or looping driver and was wondering if that could be the problem. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

The first thing I would do would be to clear the cmos, basically unplug the power from your computer and then remove the watchlike battery from the system board. Wait about 15 minutes, and then put it back in. This will put all settings back to default in case something did get changed in the bios. If that still doesn't work, then try to boot into safe mode. This will help us decide if it is a driver issue if it successfully boots up.

After 4 years of running, don't try playing with a PC if you're not sure what you're doing.
...Even if the cool kids R doing it.

Please post an exact timeline of what & when you did something and what & when the PC acting up.
Details are key ingredient of troubleshooting. :laugh:
