HELP! V-core problems

[cmmenke]

okay....so i have a M4A87TD mobo, i changed the V-Core offset to .700000 by what friend said and when i saved changes and tried to reboot...nothing
I tried resetting CMOS, switched the jumper from 1-2, 2-3 multiple times...tried resetting to default BIOS with MemOK! switch...tried taking mobo batter off and switching jumper...nothing works...never get a beep, and never posts....anyone?

First slap your 'friend' and then slap yourself. Now, go out and get a new GPU and possibly a new MB. You really jacked up the power going to the GPU chipset by doing this.

I thought i changed my Voffset..which effects the CPU...and i tried chanings GPU's out...nothing

 

[cmmenke]

and there are no other diagnostics needed, possibly to check that its a GPU for sure? because i don't have another $230 + $100 for GPU/MB..i saved for..awhile lol. i work at a coffee shop. the guy that told me to do this is the CTO of a company in kansas city...didn't think this would happen...

So you get no beeps.. do any fans spin up? Sounds like CPU or motherboard problem to me. Do you have another CPU you can test with?

 

[cmmenke]

no CPU to test with...and the other comps are intel. and yes the fans spins, main on motherboard works...but no sounds at all...but i never heard sounds though....even when it worked...

 

[cmmenke]

I just gotta figure what to do here....lol and the 30 day return on NewEgg, ended 3 days ago

First, does your motherboard have a diagnostic display (some have a small display that shows error codes)? That might give a start. (EDIT: Scratch this idea as I've just checked the details on your motherboard)

Second, IIRC, a lot of motherboards now don't have an onboard speaker as such. You'd need to connect it to your case speaker (if you've got one) to get the beeps.

Failing these, you'd need to swap parts to test - CPU and/or motherboard.

However, this does look like a replacement job for one or both parts. You've pushed the voltage to some key components up and over their limits so they're probably fried.

If you were told this as a piece of "professional advice" and have that advice in written format (i.e. email, letter) then you might have some comeback on the giver.
Note that this advice would have to have been given in a professional/business dealing. I'm sure some others will jump in with suggestions for this.
If not, then unfortunately you've just learned a bit more about PCs the hard way...

EDIT:
And here is the article by on AnandTech about Voffset and Vdroop

well yah, i just told him right now...he gave me the "huh that is weird" love that...people who could care less. Well lol I think im gonna sell my laptop for a new CPU and mobo...should be able to get a better one haha

So it is safe to say my GPU is probably fine, PSU, HDD's all that lol...just making sure the divorce didn't take everything lol....so i know just to grab a mobo and CPU

 

[cmmenke]

tt need the answer...lol is GPU okay? and everything...is my MB okay? can i just get a new CPU?

 

[cmmenke]

please lol

 

[splat_ed]

From here, the only way to test is to get new parts and try them to find out what's fried. In which case you might as well just get the new MB & CPU.

Not sure about GPU. Personally, I'd get the MB/CPU and try the old GPU. If it don't work... then new graphics card time. If it works then great.

Also, best not to start more than one thread about the same problem. It can annoy the moderators...

oh this thread was about to see if my cpu is fried...The other was to see how to test it. sorry
