I changed my vcore and upped my cpu frequency and now my computer is not turning on...

How much did you up everything by? You may have went too far causing the computer to be unstable. Try resetting your CMOS and then start over. Go a tiny bit at a time. Does it start up at all or does it do nothing when you hit the power button?

 

[ShaolinMilk]

It does nothing. Where is my cmos jumper?

 

[CanadaGradeEh]

Incase you don't find your CMOS jumper (often on the bottom left of your motherboard and/or near your CMOS battery), you can also take out your CMOS battery (just look for the only battery on the motherboard) for about a minute, then put it back in. That'll reset all your CMOS settings back to default, and you shoot be able to boot. It would be handy if you let us know what your BIOS settings were before and after the no-booting.

Turn off your power supply for about 20 seconds or as long as it takes for every standby light to turn off. Turn it back on, and see what happens.

Hmm, I see you're running a Prescott on stock air cooling. That might prove for some high temperatures while attempting an overclock.

Anyway, have you read any of the FAQs or guides on overclocking?

The cmos jumper is usually right around the battery somewhere, it is 2 pins, sometimes with a jumper hanging off one but not connected to both. If no jumper is present then ya gotta get one... usually hard drives come with extras.

 

[ShaolinMilk]

Okay guys. I fixed it... Thank you.

And by the way, I don't have stock cooling anymore!=D

I can run at 3.42GHz and my temp is at 43C idle and 50C on load. It's just my mobo that's holding me back!

 

[CanadaGradeEh]

Glad to hear it! Might wanna change your system specs so everyone knows what you're running right now though. That's why I thought you were possibly running hotter than you should be haha

 

[Neocold]

mobo wont let ya push it anymore? sorry to hear, i got my 3.2 pressy to 4.01 semi stable till i get some better ram... you are missing out on some potental with that motherboard.

what do you have for cooling, because i run those same temps with stock cooling...

 

[ShaolinMilk]

These are my specs right now... My old stock cooling, my idle was like 58 and on load, it was like 75...

not saying much for that zalman....

Hey guys... I need help right now on changing my ram ratios. What should I do?

Hmmmmmm.. well, I was gonna say it shouldn't be too hard to up your RAM's speed to 1:1 with your FSB and then set your CAS to 2.5, and even try for 2, but then I saw one of your stick is PC2700. That's gonna limit you pretty bad. I've never been in that situation WHILE overclocking, so I couldn't really help you. Hopefully someone comes along who can though, because I'm curious to see what you can do

No, CMOS jumbers are either 2 or 3 pins, depending on the board.

 

[ShaolinMilk]

Yikes! Alright, thanks for your input anyways.

 

[CanadaGradeEh]

Pffffffffff, why should we listen to you? You're just some idiot

You definately won't be able to run 1:1 anywhere with that ram. Running two different cas latencys with a pair of ram really hurts performance. My suggestion would be to pick yourself up a good dual channel kit.
