jcll2002 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 As you can see in my sig, i have been overclocking. I recently installed a watercooling loop and wanted to see how far i could take my cpu. I tried booting 3ghz with 1.5volts (which i could do before on air) but it didnt boot. I changed the jumper to safe boot and i got into the bios with all the stock settings. I pressed save and quit and it just shut down. Now, i press the power button and it turns on for a second or two. Clearing the CMOS didnt help either... Any help?? Would taking out the battery help?

lowboy Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Clear cmos like this:http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showpost.p...04&postcount=24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcll2002 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 It says at one point "try a 30sec clear, then 15min, ect." How do i know if its cleared? If i just power it on and it goes to bios? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Try a 30min clear and if no joy a longer clear some have to do 8-24 hr clear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcll2002 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 and nothing is to be plugged in besides the power? No ram, hdd, pci, gfx? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazda_626 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 how long did you give the thermal paste to settle? remove the power cord, remove the batt and move the CMOS reset pin, leave it like that for about 1/2 hr, mean while remove the water block from the CPU and make sure it was seating properly. reapply themal paste, by then the 1/2 hr should have passed so you can put the cmos pin back, replace the batt and plug it back in, if it wont boot, umm, well, try 24 hrs Edit: make sure the pins are in the right place if the Cmos pin is wrong then the computer wont boot either, i've done it before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcll2002 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 no, the temps were fine. I was idling 26cwith water. I just decided to overclock alittle more. (ive had the water for about a week now) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Try the 30 min clear with components all hooked up if no joy try longer clear with 1 stick of memory in slot #2 orange as shown in that thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcll2002 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 will do. Is there any chance i broke something? I upped the cpu vcore from 1.35 to 1.5 (in intervals) and it wouldnt backup the cmos with the lower voltage (i was trying to boot 3ghz which i could do before on air) so when i got to 1.5 it just didnt power on.

lowboy Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Might have corrupted windows as can happen anytime system crashes but not broke anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazda_626 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 if it wont power on, as in Bios wont even post, then windows corrupting shouldnt have anything to do with it. to me there are a few possibility's, heres some of them is the water block wasnt seated properly, not enough thermal paste, not enough time for the thermal paste to work, your water cooling setup not cooling as well as it should, or is leaking, bios is currupt and needs resetting as you have been doing. i forgot to add a step in the cmos reset remove the power cord, remove the batt and move the CMOS reset pin, push the power button (dont expect anything to happen when you do this:) ), leave it like that for about 1/2 hr, mean while remove the water block from the CPU and make sure it was seating properly. reapply themal paste, by then the 1/2 hr should have passed so you can put the cmos pin back, replace the batt and plug it back in, if it wont boot, umm, well, try 24 hrs not really sounding good if the bios wont post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcll2002 Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 tried it. the waterblock is fine. I let it reset for 1.5 hrs and no joy. Im really starting to get nervous. Could it have something to do with the safe boot jumpers? I was messing around with those also before. I set them to default before i tried resetting the cmos.
