underclocking

[flyby257]

when my prosesor was running at normal speed it was at about 45oC and then i overclocked it and it ran at about 53oC. I know this is to high and i wanted to see how hot it would run if i underclocked it so i did. now when i turn my computer on everything powers up but the video, sound, usb, ps2, and serial dont work. my screen says to cheak my cable conection.

does anyone know how i can fix it?

Have you set it back to default to see if it boots

 

[flyby257]

yes i reset the mother board. and it still does not work

 

[StrangleHold]

Bet theres something little that you missed, try looking at setting one more time, then take board battery out for a few minutes, If you have any special bios setting itwill set everything back to default so you might have to reset boot order or something

Never heard of anything being fried by underclocking

 

[flyby257]

i will try that

 

[flyby257]

i took the battery out a couple hours ago and just now put it back in and it still does not work. the screen says please cheak your cable connection so i can't go into system BIOS.

How were you changing the CPU speed, In the bios or jumpers

 

[flyby257]

in BIOS. how do you change it with jumpers?

in BIOS. how do you change it with jumpers?

Some older boards just had jumpers, when you reset the bios before did you use the the cmos reset jumper or just took battery out, I've reset the jumper before and only hit one pin when moved back and it wont boot or just flat out forgot to put back on normal

 

[flyby257]

I used cmos. the jumper is in the right spot and everything in the computer powers up. the hdd spins, the fans spin and the processor gets hot but the video does not go to the monitor

Built in video or a card

 

[flyby257]

its a gforce mx 4000

 

[StrangleHold]

Mabe shut down, unplug it , set cmos to reset, becareful and take out video card and reset it. put cmos jumper back to normal, plug back in and try to boot, might just be one of those freak I'm going to mess with ya things

 

[flyby257]

okay i will try that tomarow. it is late.

About drop the head time

if it is a asus mobo supported by ai booster u can use that to downclock ur cpu.

When you take out the battery from in an attempt to reset to bios (back in post #6) you also need to disconnect the power cord (unplug it) otherwise cmos will draw from the psu.
