nofun Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) EDIT: Clr CMOS button on board reset my settings and solved the issue, ty anyways! Title pretty much says it all. Got the system up and running just fine, decided that I'd like to try using the AutoOverclock function on my MSI 790GX-G65. Now I can't seem to get a display, and I'm completely stuck about what to do! I'm a complete novice at overclocking, so please give me detailed instructions. Do I need to flash the bios, and if so, what's the safest and easiest way to do that? System specs: MSI 790GX-G65 AMD Phenom II X4 955 mushkin 4.0 GB DDR3 1600 Using integrated graphics. Thank you in advance for the help! Edited May 24, 2009 by nofun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 If you restore defaults does it work again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Reset the BIOS as your first move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cssorkinman Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Did you press that button with the machine running? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycho_terror Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 can't believe this got three answers, despite the OP having solved the problem long before a single response was made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofun Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 can't believe this got three answers, despite the OP having solved the problem long before a single response was made. Well I certainly appreciate the enthusiasm. No, I definitely turned the PSU off before I reached into the case to hit the Clr CMOS button. That's a very nice little feature that I wish more boards offered. But yes the problem is solved for now. I'm a novice at all this, but I'll go in and take another crack at it (manually this time). I'm just very annoyed that my board says it supports up to 1333 MHz RAM normally, and up to 2133 MHz OC, and yet my nice mushkin DDR3 1600 is only running at 1066. But like I said I'm a complete novice at all this, so I'll try to find some OC tutorials to help me with that before I make a post here.

Boinker Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Yeah. I attempted to get the overclock option to work on my AM2+ Asus M3N-HT and found that it "does not work well" I got a better more stable overclock out of time and effort. see my CPUID below. as far as im concerned the overclock option is a joke in itself.

Zertz Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 None of the auto overclocking things are perfect, but they often offer a good starting point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
