I need to know what happened with my mobo! anyone pls.

[Battousai1]

I have a Tomato ZX98-AT motherboard. The story is this I used the board on a Pentium II processor at 233 Mhz speed, I tried overclocking it on the bios setup up to 333 i guess and after some minutes the cpu heated up and the system hangs when i reached windows when i turned it back on the monitor goes black and no cpu response i believe that I accidentaly overheated my processor, so Im thinking if this mobo (Tomato ZX98-AT) can run a PIII optimized and efficiently. And im wondering what could possibly happened is it because of the overheat caused by the overclocking, and also will the mobo get damage if the processor overheats? what happened to my processor, is it already permanently damaged?

I'm really not too sure about most of your questions. All I can tell you is that when I fried my old amd 1.4(ouch...) the system beeped a lot very loudly whenever I tried to power it up...don't know about pentium though.

When you power up now does everything except the cpu turn on? (case fans, hard drives, cpu fans, etc.)
I doubt that the mb was damaged by the overheat -- try a new cpu to be sure

GOOD LUCK

well the cpu cards are working fine, but dont know about the PCI slots, the video card is alright cause i tried it on a different cpu, when i turned the power on their is no screen just plain black. BTW what will happen if the processor cant withstand the overclock? will it blow off and smoke out? overheat and damage itself? or it also damage the whole board?
