Have I knackered my Athlon 750?

Featured Replies

Was fiddling in the BIOS, not really knowing what I was doing and changed what I thought was the CPU thingy... BUT, it only had an option to go to 120 from 100, and no increments inbetween... So.silly me sets it to 120 and now it won't boot up. It just turns on and never kicks in to the boot screen (not even to where I might be able to reset the BIOS defaults)

Have I fooked it? :(

Its sat there now, on - CD drives move in and out, and orange "busy" light is solid on... If that helps.

No, should be alright just set a setting it doesnt like.

Shutdown again and when turning on press and hold the insert key on the keyboard, on some bios's that resets the cpu settings back to default. Failing that you will need to find the jumper on the motherboard that completely resets the bios.

He, he. The perils of overclocking, scares the living daylights out of you when it does'nt work the first time.

As said in the above post, just reset the cmos jumper on the motherboard and it should be fine.

done that many times whilst playing. as manny said just reset the bios. look in the manual or on t'internet to see where the jumper is, it is normally labelled clear cmos

:thumbup: Nice one Manny! :D Insert button did the trick! God bless Briskoda! :angel:

Just make sure you don't accidentally leave that jumper on when you power it up. On some boards that can cause a lot of grief :)

For your Athlon I'm thinking take it up from 100 to 105 in one hit. Try a 110. See where it fails. Then go somewhere between :)

Truoble is when I went to change it, there were no increments, only 100, then 120, 130, 150 I think, no choices in between - Unless I was missing something. This 1.8 machine had every number to choose from above 133, so I went up to 138. :D

then lower the mulitplier if it allows
