I think i just fried my cpu. it is a celeron sl633 pga370 and i had it runnin at 1.91 ghz on a via motherboard.the first time i reached it would POST but wont load windows. then there i bolted a tornado fan to the side of my hsf and it ran fine for 2 weeks. then i turned it on last nite and everything fired up but no POST WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
youve been running it overclocked.... soz dude but the risk you take when overclocking is completely buggering up your PC... and thats probably what youve done... what was the original speed of the processor?
1.91Ghz is almost an increase of 100%. Not only is that highly unpredictable, but rarely achievable. Is that even possible? I've seen some pretty kick butt OCs out there, but none of them got anywhere near 100%...most no more than 20-30%. That would be like someone taking a 3.8Ghz P4 to 7Ghz.... If reseting the clock frequency doesn't allow you to boot, then you can rest assured it's fried. If ya haven't taken out the motherboard that is..
morph, i've heard of higher than 30% but with a damn good cooling system i think liquid. bally, try resetting the bios as might kick start the system as worked for me a few times but not tested on an overclocked system.
Yeah, the one's that have achieved 5Ghz used NO2...not for the inexperienced that's for sure. Still hard to believe that a 1Ghz proc made it to 1.91.....but if it did, it would have surely fried the CPU.
when i put hsf i ment water cool(ive got used to hsfs) also the motherboard is an astonishing overclocker. ur wrong morph as a pentium 4 has been taken to almost 7ghz with liquid nitrogen
