No system starts after the overclock attempt failed
No system starts after the overclock attempt failed
I basically experienced an overclock failure and now nothing is running. The BIOS boots but everything defaults to black. The keyboard and mouse remain unresponsive, showing only a black screen. I reset the CMOS and cleared the CMOS, but it still doesn’t work. My system is stuck in a black state.
Hi krazcs
You experienced a failed OC and it's best to ensure you didn't use incorrect voltage settings. Did you perform the OC from within Windows or the BIOS?
No matter what, reset the CMOS to its default state. If that doesn't work, update your BIOS with the latest version and retry.
If the problem persists, test with a single DIMM in the first slot and consider rearranging them.
If you still can't access the BIOS or encounter post cycle halts, it may indicate a memory (MB) issue.
Reconfigure the boot disk in BIOS by adjusting HD priority to your boot drive. In advanced settings, select SATA Mode. Switch from AHCI to IDE, save changes, and restart the system.
You must reconfigure the boot disk in BIOS by navigating to settings/boot, adjusting the HD priority to your boot drive, and setting SATA Mode in advanced settings. Change from AHCI to IDE, save the changes, and then reboot. I tried this and it still doesn’t work. Every time I restart, it crashes into a black screen and fails to power on any peripherals. I’m stuck and don’t know how to proceed.
