Did I fry my motherboard?

[dantonic]

well I was overclocking my old pentium 4 2.6 Ghz
Socket 478 Biostar Motherboard U8598 ver 3.0
I had increased the bus from 133 to 150 and was getting 3.0 Ghz working stable
So I decided to go further and increase to 160

Powered up, got an initial boot, then a pop, and then nothing

I keep resetting, no screen. THe computer powers up but I get nothing on the monitor, and it doesnt even sound like it is booting.

What could I have fried? the motherboard? the video card? the cpu?

If the cpu was fried I should at least be able to get into the bios correct?

and here is a link to the MB manual in case u care to look at it

Thank you for any imput.

Easiest thing to to is to test each individual part on other (working) computer. Do you have any friends?

 

[dantonic]

Well, I dont know anyone that has the same socket MB. I am about to try switching the video card with an old one and see if that does anything.

But when overclocking I am overclocking the BUS on the MB correct? couldnt that fry the MB as well?
and if I fried the CPU but not the MB should I be able to get an initial screen and make my way into the bios?

I get nothing when I power on.

You did lock the pci-e/agp and pci bus right?

 

[dantonic]

No unfortunately I did not that makes me think that I fried the agp and pci...

I actually thought that was automatically locked on the motherboard.

I guess that is not so?
Sigh

Here's another question:

If I clear the cmos with the jumper setting, will that also clear the overclock setting back to default? or is that just for clearing the password?

Thanks

 

[dantonic]

Well, I cleared the CMos by changing the jumper setting...

All is well, I got my computer back, just had to reset everything in the bios...

I still dont know what that POP was... it really did sound like something blew,
anyhow I dont care my computer is back to life

THank you for your comments.

POP was probably your mobo beeping at you telling you it cant boot, probably just has one retarted beep lol.
