Pc boots but no video after overclock of e6600

I have an e6600 and an intel d975xbx2 board.I also have a gtx 260 core 216. the cpu was holding back the gpu so I decided to overclock the cpu from 2.4 to 3.0 mhz, to eliminate the gpu bottleneck. from what i understand 3mhz is very manageable with the e6600 and the stock fan, but just to be safe i went with the artic freezer 7 pro.

I think the extra heat from the overclock got to gpu.

I think I need to somehow reset the bios, but i dont now how.


Thanks

 

Ok I see how to reset the bios but is the any othe possible fix. I weould like to be able to oc to get rid of my gpu bottleneck.

 

2.4 to 3.0 is a large jump try 2.7 or 2.8 the main thing is do you experience lag in your games at stock. why bother shorting your hardwares life when theres no need to.

 

2.4 to 3.0 would be easy with most boards, but on one of intel's own boards, overclocking is going to be difficult.

 

Right but its always safe to Overclock one . at a time. when you find a stable core keep it.

i believe his issue is voltage as many Intel's have there voltages locked. i could be wrong i was never a fan of Intel anyway the K5 & K6-2 blew my mind.

 

The problem is not with Intel CPUs, it's with Intel boards, they're really stripped down OEM-grade boards with essentially no overclocking abilities whatsoever. If you rate AMD based on the 1998-2000 days then you missed out, back then it was pretty even. From 2003-2006 AMD were absolutely slamming Intel's products until the core 2 came out. From that point until a few months back the situation was reversed.

 

thanks, I tried moving the jumper and then tried to recover the bios wth a flopy disk. When i put the disk in my motherboard book says i should see activity on the a drive LED along with a few system tones.

I see the drive activity but hear no system tones and the recovery does not work.

The system seems to be working when i try a normal boot. I can hear the clicking of the hard drives, but befor my problem i muted my speaker so I cant hear the windows start up sound.

Also I have read in several places that my board is a good overclocker.

I guess in my case the Accolades were incorrect.

 

You won't hear any beeps unless you have a case speaker connected lol - do you?

 

No, but one time I istalled bad ram and i was able to hear system tones indecating the ram was bad. I thought i would hear something like that.


Any ideas on why the recovery did not work.

 

Perhaps the board has an onboard speaker then, some do.

 

It does.

 

Interesting, power related faults would usually prevent POST, but nforce 6 boards are a law unto themselves.

 

the guy who built my pc got me a case and psu together, i think and the psu is probably not the best.

 

Then the PSU is almost certainly a deathtrap. Replace it anyway, as a matter of safety.

 

I know I need to replace the psu. If the hard drives click at startup, the fans all work and the disc drives flash when a disc is inserted is it still probably the psu?

Keep in mind i cant see or hear because i muted the speakers.

 

Not that likely, but it's still a matter of urgency to replace the PSU.

 

OK.

 

The guy who built it for me was able to recover the bios, undo the OC and test my video card in a working machine. the videocard just had a few lines on the screen. so i bought a cheep PNY card put it in.

The system boots to windows but only every once out of a a few trys.I also am unable to got the system out of stand by.

When i cant get to windows everthing seens to work but windows just wont start, and nothing is diplayed.

One time when i tried to boot and saw nothing, so i turned on my wireless headset to see if i could hear any windows startup sounds. the wireless headset would not pickup the receiver pluged into the usb port.

Since i seeming the have usb and desplay problems i am thinking its a motherboard issue.

What do you guys think?

Thanks so much.

 

Assuming the PSU has been replaced try a new motherboard. If the PSU has still not been replaced, then still do that first.
