Failed CPU OC

[Hunain]

Hmmm..Krumm, you might not be getting blessings from "someone" lol Anyways, Mungoo, are you using a guide? tell me what are you actually doing, what steps are you following, you go in to the BIOS setup, then what do you do? Do you know your way around there? (im doubtful since you couldnt find the EIST settings the first time around) So i would like to know what you do, before advising you.

Well, after going in, I proceed to the M.I.T. where you can control the clock cycles, frequency and so on.

I changed the CPU frequency from 200Mhz to 210Mhz. I leave the CPU multipler at 10. I then save and exit. The computer boots up, detecting 2.1GHz, but then it will reboot, reverting to 2Ghz. This happened even after disabling EIST.

I'll do it again just to check.

EDIT: Yup, I just did it and the computer just reboots then the CPU is at 2Ghz.

well..I dont use gigabyte boards, isnt there any manual way to choose FSB speed, ram speed, cpu voltage, memory voltage? Do you see any options for FSB rather than directly choosing a proposed CPU speed?

Oh no, I manually entered the FSB of the CPU.


EDIT: I just flashed the BIOS, and nothing.

Okay, I've got a serious problem, the system posts, but then it fails to load Windows. All I see is a blank screen.

Sounds like the PCI clock is too high - have you locked this at 100?

[DratUK]

Have you used Ctrl + F1, this opens the "hidden bios" settings ie voltage control.

And have you looked at Clunks OC guide

Yup I have, but still nothing.

When I inserted the Windows OEM disc, it said
"Setup is detecting your hardware configuration" then nothing.

One suggestion, install Windows before you overlock anything. It saves any issues a lot of time and hassle.

Once you know you have a stable, working system THEN start playing with it. The only exception to this is setting your RAM voltage to the manufacturer's settings.

Ive installed Windows, and it was working, but for a reason, it decided to shut down and won't load Windows anymore.

EDIT: I just unplugged the HDD and now the CD works.

What should I do now?

[Hunain]

What HD are you using? Do you hear click click sounds when your system hangs on boot? If its seagate, download seatools and check HD for errors.

It's Samsung, and no, I can't hear any clicking sounds.

Change to a different SATA header/switch to IDE mode/disable jmicron controller. I bet this is the usual gigabyte problems with SATA controllers.

Just some questions.

By SATA header, you mean the cable or the input slot?

And what will disabling the controller do?

[kalniel]

I mean the SATA connector on the motherboard. Disabling the jmicron controller will disable any SATA connections provided by the jmicron chip rather than the intel southbridge (usually a different colour). It's probably not neccessary but sometimes it interferes with things.

I would make sure your hard drive is in IDE mode rather than SATA/AHCI (in BIOS) as a first port of call though.

Ah I see. However, my BIOS says that SATA/AHCI Mode is disabled, is that it?
