This morning I turned my computer on, and when I did, my monitor refused to get out of power save mode. Its like no signal is being sent to the monitor, but it still says that it is plugged in.
I was OCing my AXIA Tbird last night. it is a stock 1000 and it is running at 1.33 w/ a 140 FBS and a 9.5 multiplier. But it ran 45 minutes of Prime95 and then it went through 3DMark 2001 without a problem.
It seemed to run fine, my temps were ok (53 full load) and I restarted it several times,
my question is, what could be causing this.
I was thinking that it could be a power supply issue, so i unplugged my 2nd HD and my CD-RW, still no Dice.

I am running an IWill KK266
AXIA Tbird
2x 128 MB Mosel Vitalic Ram
Geforce 2 MX(ASUS)
SB live Platinum
linksys NIC (forgot model number)
Premier 300 Watt
I have tried taking out the linksys, I have taken out the Geforce 2 and then put it back in. I have tried puting in a PCI video card with the geforce(will try putting it back in, without the geforce, after I get back from work).
Does anybody have any idea.
When I turn it on, all the fans start spinning, there is a beep, and the green light is on, its just there is no video.
Help would be apreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

try a different video card..sound like your video card is bad. Overclocking can damage your video card and other stuff..that is why I dont overclock..

140 fsb is a pretty mild OC. The chance of it damaging your vid (specially a GF) is pretty slim. Plus he did try a dif vid card konboy.

I have had 2 monitors die like that over the years, never come out of powersafe mode. Try another monitor or try your mon on a dif system.

GO FOR THAT 19" or 21" YOU HAVE BEEN WANTING! ;)

"try a different video card.."

and

"try a different video card without the geforce"


Hmm, sounds different to me, and I just assumed since he said he was going to do that, you wouldnt suggest it to him again. Sorry if I offended you...... :(

Well, dont use my name in a negative manner when you have no clue what I said when I PM him. Keep your comments about me to yourself and dont write about me on your thread.
