alechko88 Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 the title is suposed to be: i feel so bad today my friend bought a new pc: AXP2400+. Epox 8RGA+, Geil 512mb pc3200... and i came to help build the pc and install it, then we decideed to OC a little(he also had a v9), first we lowerd the muultiplier( it was unloack by default, nForce2) to 12* and rased the FSB to 166, wich is no OC(same 2.0Ghz, well 1993Mhz), memory perfomance was alot better(pc mark2002: from 3500marks to 4200marks) so we go furthur... rased the FSB to 175... pc doesnt boot... same for every FSB we tried thats higher than 167... so i desided to lset the memory to be 85% of the FSB frequency... after the restart the monitor doesnt turn on and the HDD led is always on.... i thought i did somethng wron in the bios and desided to take it out and put it back(flash them)... but i accidantly put it upside donn and i burt his bios!! then i turned it back... and i can see that the chip is burnt... it boots up to the CMOS and sais something liek the CPU was OC faild.. press f11 to continue or DEL to enter bios... but the keyboard doesnt work... we tried sevral keyboards... and im pretty sure that its because of the bios... its smells like it was deep fried... well... he has warantee but i feel so bad for frieng his machine like 5hours after he got it....

mxrider623 Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 that does really suck but at least he has the warranty. ok i heard this on the radio this is kind of funny too. a husband and a wife were moving and rented a U-Haul truck, the woman was pregnant and they were only moving across town. the insurance for the truck was like 30 bucks but the wife told her husband they didnt need it since they were only going across town and they would be careful. the woman was driving the truck back to her house following behind her husband. she went under a bridge and ripped the whole top off the truck! they ended up having to pay like $4,000 for the truck to be fixed. they could have forked out $30 and saved all that money, now that sucks!

Zurke Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 It was also my understanding that you dont ever flash the BIOS when you are overclocked. I read very bad things happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alechko88 Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 you guys only laughed because i bet he didnt buy the computer parts. when i broke my new 2400+ which i payed for i was super pissed no way in hell i would laugh no thats not it, i also fried my DEAR DEAR 9500 pro, and i was on the floor laughinfg for a good few mins, im not an idiot, i learn from my mistakes, how do u think i know bout OCing and modding, i started trying till i got it, i burnt alot of PC parts and im not going to stop OCing, modding, hacking... never! lol, when i think bout it... almost non of my part's waranty's are valind for example: here they pu a sticker on each part that sais that waranty is valid till **/** and removing the sticker will remove the waranty and they put the sticker on places that OC'ers, modders need to get it off like,m when i put leds in my P/S they put the sticker on the screw so if i want to open it i had to rip the sticker.... i also unlocked the cpu, so warnty is invalid for cpu, my video card was fried due OCing, warnty is off etc..
