[QUOTE="My_name_a_Borat"]

The computer I'm typing this message on is running Windows NT 4.0 on a dual CPU 180MHz Pentium Pro. I rescued it from the big mean garbage man just a month ago. :) It's a rare bird--it's actually got the 512KB cache version of the P Pro--two of them. Must've been as expensive as a car back in 1995.

But my main PC--the one detailed in my sig--runs 64-bit Vista Home Premium.

Hey don't give them any idea's, I don't want them stealing my dumpster trophy's.

Hey, that is my dumpter!!! I use to dumpster dive all of the time but found out that my area sucked for it. Plus, my basement was blocked. So I gave up and just purchased the parts I ever needed.

^that doesn't make you a fanboy that makes you smart lol. filmography

Well if you want to be technical, a Mac is a PC. What you prefer is the operating system.

Dude if you've had experience with overclocking, then you wouldn't have needed to copy and paste some guide.

And no. It's 99.99%. Only a fool could fry his processor while overclocking, by increasing the CPU voltage too much at once or increasing the FSB too much at once.

Guess you ignore the whole end-user aspect of computers. You always have that person who knows enough about computers to know what overclocking is. They then decide to give it a try, completely screw over a part of theirs, and then realize that they never knew as much as they thought they did. See, this forum is usually the exception and so are the overclocking forums on many sites but in each forum, most exclude the fact that the average end-user would harm their system.

Ok, do you have onboard video and a video card?

If so, switch your coord to the onboard video and see if you get an image after you boot.

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"]When you overclock a good bit more than 10% of normal speed, from the extra power,stress,and inturn comes the heat. The parts become unstable after they hit certain tempatures with the extra voltage they werent designed to do. The effects can be from crashes in games or apps, Pc rebooting on its own, And if temps get too high and it dont lock up or reboot you will see a decrease in performance like video cards after they get to a temp before core slowdown temp limit. Thats for short term problems,now for long term from the constant extra stress shortness the life the part or parts this depends how much Oc has been done and how long. Some games can very sentive to Oc'ing and if that program/game detects something not right with voltage or heat or other thingsit wont run to protect the Pc Like Guild Wars has this feature. And others crash,slow down or have glicths. Thats why people buy better coolers when they Oc and others that dont, know heat is the enemy and when you Oc it makes more heat cause of the stress(the more heat the less of life of the part). So Oc'ing is ok if you got a good cooling solution.hofuldig

i have my old processor overclocked way over 10% so you may think youre smart but you dont know jack.

So who pissed in your corn flakes this morning? Anyways, overclocking has become easier and easier these days. Simple programs make it so that even the novice of users can overclock. It "CAN" affect the stability of your system, it will affect the life of the product, and yes, some applications do have preventive code in them if they see irregularities in the base system. So get off your high horse and correct them if you wish. Just don't think overclocking a system makes your an expert on computer systems.

Ok, here comes the question period.

Is your monitor plugged in?

Is it turned on?

Does your monitor support both Analog and Digital connections? If so, can you change it to the one you have it connected to?

Do you get any beep codes when you power on your system?

Did you recently change anything since you built it?
