While messing around Ocing ie bumping fsb,cpu voltage, mem., voltage, multiplier ,and with all the rebooting to go with I started experiencing several different errors while trying to reboot , GPF ,missing files and just blank screens with the hd running. I tried replacing files , running XP?s recovery console , repair install , even reformatting and reinstall xp (it never completed) .
Replaced HD ?no help , pulled nic card and 1 stick mem. system boots and xp install completes, replace nic- get GPF on reboot ,I remove nic ?reboot fine- replace other stick mem- missing files error on reboot- remove mem- boot fine . I then swap known good nic and get good boot and network setup starts ? reboot after and blank screen. I proceed to swap mem with known working mixed results and no network with ether card.

Any ideas ? Trashed mobo,PS,-floppy or case screws?????

Thanks

Dont take this in a bad way but.... maybe its time for an upgrade?? I'm not just trying to be cheeky, newer hardware means less problems in the long run. Your OCing exploits may have damaged several components simultaneously, either that or your mobo alone is damaged. Since it's the backbone on which everything else is placed, if it's messed, stuff wont work the way it should. Just speculation, not definate.
 
Overclocking your system shouldn't bother your hard drive at all unless you fry your whole system but it doesn't sound like it. If you download a lot of files on your computer the reason your losing your files is probably to viruses. My suggestions is take what files you want store them somewhere format the Hard Drive and put windows XP back on. The problem could also be bad sectors on the Hard Drive. Try doing a scandisk and disk defrag sometime!
