I changed my Voltage. MISTAKE. HELP!
I changed my Voltage. MISTAKE. HELP!
Hi everyone
I thought I become great on overclocking, when I took my 2.8 ghz Pentium 4
to 3 ghz. And my RAM from 400mhz to 440mhz. It ran stable, and changed my
RADEON 9200SE 128mb speeds about 30mhz.
But I am a NOOOOOOB. And somewhere I read about changing the voltage. So I lifted the voltage from default to I think 1.025V. When it restarted, I just heard 2 soft clicks! And wouldn't start. This was the dumbest thing in my PC lifetime I did. (except for blowing the PSU once)
I know I am stupid, but please help me, and tell me if my facts aren't true.
I even don't know my mobo's name. I bought my PC from someone else.
I think it is a SOLTEK SL-P4M800-RL
CPU: P4 2.8 ghz LGA 775
PSU: 200 Watt (lol)
Thanx

what happens when you turn on the machine? Does anything happen/turn on?
If you dont know which jumper Bazik is referring to, you could also take out the cmos battery (that circular silver battery) on your motherboard. Keep it out for a good 30 mins then put it back in.

I am 63% addicted to Counterstrike. What about you?
if its an older mobo and you dont know where the reset jumper is you could just remove the CMOS battery few a minute then put it back agian ant start up. Setting should be cleared unless the mobo has sum kind of bck up power somehow. also just chek for jumpers around the CMOS battery and looking for sumthing that indicates "clear" or "reset" or sumthing like that. I've raised the voltage on my stuff before and got the same problem, a quick bios reset later and everything was fine again.
Hope you havnt blow anything (holding thumbs)

Sounds like you undervolted the CPU which will cause the machine not to boot because the CPU doesn't have enough juice. Reset the CMOS, I doubt anything is blown. And get a bigger PSU.
