Hi Guys

[blogz101]

Hello can i ask about overclocking?Well hope you dont mind. Well i am new in overclocking and i played around the bios in the DRAM timings and i place the latency into 2 LOL. After that i saved and exit then it POST. There has been 1 long beep and 3 -4 beeps. I read that it either the motherboard, Power Supply or RAM. Then i turned off the computer. After that it wont even start. When i turned the pc it dont start. Well there has been some fans spin but really short time and it stops (FANS of PowerSupply and CPU HSF). I just wonderin did i destroyed the motherboard? But theres a question in my head if i destoryed the motherboard shouldnt the FAN of the Power Supply Spin even thought the motherboard is bricked?


THANKS

Find the CLR CMOS jump and use it.

well i did that waited for about 2mins then removed the cmos battery for about 30secs. I think its the power supply though coz it should work even though the motherboard is bricked? Am i right? If i plug the powersupply the fans should work but it just spins for about a sec then it stops. And now its not spinin at all

You can't brick a motherboard by changing the memory timings around.

I see (My bad). But i think its the powersupply. coz it powers for just a sec and then power loss. Thanks

You set the timings too agressively. You have to:

1. disconnect the external PSU cable.
2. press the power switch to drain the caps
3. remove the CMOS battery
4. jump the CMOS header to clear
5. install the battery
6. connect the external PSU cable
7. press the power switch again

I did that with no avail :D. anyway its a very old rig 1998. I think the powersupply failed coz i believe that if i plug the powersupply in the AC outlet it should work(the Fan spining), but theres no fan spining. I guess it the powersupply.

Correct me if im wrong

You have to jump the PSU in order to start it alone. Plug a few fans at the Molex connectors, and jump pins 4 (Green wire) and 6 (black wire). That's looking straight on at the connector, with the safety tab on top. Both pins are on the top row.

Then flip the PSU switch. Works?

you may also try a 24hrs clear cmos.

it have save my ass more then once on my both DFI rigs ....
