Hi, bit of a predicament,
I overclocked my PC this afternoon, from 2500+ stock speeds, to 3200+ speeds (1.75v)
It booted into windows xp, and then bluescreened, i switched off, and when i came to switching on again, all I got, was a constant beep, no power lights, no fans / HDDs / CD-ROM spinning up, simple
Duuurrr Buuurrr, Duuurrr Buuurrr, Duuurrr Buuurrr, Duuurrr Buuurrr, Duuurrr Buuurrr, Duuurrr Buuurrr
I've tried:
Resetting CMOS jumper
Took out battery, and did CMOS jumper
Took out all connections, and did CMOS jumper
nothing
Please help, or just try and suggest what's dead?
Cheers
PC Spe:
xp2500+
Corsair xms 3200 ddr (512mb)
Abit NF7 v2.0 Motherboard
Globalwin 420w PSU

Not to assume anything but you didn't just stick 1.75v core voltage and up the speed from 1.8ghz (XP2500+) to 2.2ghz 400FSB (XP3200+) ... right?
The only time when o/c'ing is truly risky is when you do stuff like that. You should use SMALL STEPS and test each time, ALWAYS leave voltage stock until you experience instability and THEN if you're sure your cooling is up to it step up the voltage 0.05v at a time. Then once again take small steps and test each time. When you find your max o/c STEP BACK a bit and if it needed extra voltage consider if the added strain and heat produced are worth the extra speed it got you ... best to benchmark and see the actual perf diff. If you did take a big jump then expect something to fry ... your mobo and CPU are the most likely things to be killed everything should be okay UNLESS it over stressed your PSU in which case everything could have been destroyed. I hope none of this is relevant to you ...

It could be multiple dead things but from what you've done it would seem to point to either the mobo or RAM. I think you get a different set of beeps if the RAM is faulty so a mobo problem is likely.
