k so the system im having trouble with is a A64 3000, MSI k8n neo 4 plat nforce 4 ultra, 1 gig (2x512) kingston hyperX pc 3200, 250GB maxtor hdd, 6600GT 128, OCZ powerstream 420W.
i was messing around on the settings for my 6600GT in windows and i saw the clock frequency setting. i selected the manual overclocking setting selected preformance 3d. then i chose detect optimal frequencies. it upped the core clock to 550 from 500 and the mem clock to like 1.2 from 1. i dont remember if i selected apply or not but i closed out of everything and tried to play counter-strike source. all of the steam stuff came up fine and worked but when i selected the game my monitor went black and i got a small screan from the monitor saying the frequency is out of range i could not get the desktop back at all so i did a manual restart. i had changed the refresh rate also so i changed that back to the lowest setting and tried again....same thing happened. i tried putting the refresh rate inbetween the frequencies (72.something and 60.something) and still nothing. the desktop comes up fine but source just will not work.
please help
