I was messing around with Clockgen (http://www.cpuid.org/clockgen.php) trying to OC my lowly P4 2.53 to something a bit higher, earlier today. The problem is, my motherboard (FIC VG31 http://www.fic.com.tw/product/motherboard/1stmainboard_detail.aspx?model_id=80) isn't exactly supported. Knowing this, I chose to use the closest version to my motherboard, CG-CY28346 for Intel D845GBV and D845EPT2 motherboards. I amped up the clocks by around 100mhz when suddenly my entire PC froze. When I restarted, nothing happend, no post, no beeps, no nothing. After testing everything in my PC, I figured out that one of my 512 sticks died, I took it out and everything worked fine. However, now my clock speed is down from 2.53 to 1.9. My FSB is locked in at 99.6mhz, my bus speed is down to 398.5mhz. The question I have is, why? Why did my clocks lower themselves? And more importantly, how the hell can I get them back. As I noted, my mobo/bios don't really have any CPU clocking options, so I can't clock it back to normal. Am I screwed or what? Any help would be much appriciated. D:
