Overclock disables Pcie?
Overclock disables Pcie?
Hello all so here's the thing about 5/6 days ago i bought a GTX 1050 ti 4GB and i installed it on my pc just for playing some games while i don't have my new pc (i'm building new pc buying parts)
so before that card i had a GT 630 2Gb and i had my cpu intel core2quad q9550 overclocked from 2.83ghz to 3.4ghz and since i installed the GTX gpu i can't overclock anymore like everytime i try to overclock my monitor goes black and pc still works fine but i can't see anything on my screen i already tried delete previous nVidia Drivers and etc i think its something about pcie overclock or something and even when trying to just go from 2.83ghz to 2.84ghz does the same no image on my screen :/
Pc Specs:
Mobo: gigabyte G31m-s2l
ram: 4GB -> 2gb from kingston and 2gb from E-lite team
GPU: MSI GTX1050 ti 4GB
EDIT: Still didn't solve the problem and i tried everything even bought a new HDD because my old one was making most of my games stutter/mini freezes/etc.
Hope to find a solution for this soon :/
Sure, I can adjust that for you. Let me rephrase it accordingly.
CountMike confirmed the manual setting at 100 to prevent changes during OC. He plans to test it and respond later. Thanks for the answer. 😊
Also happy Easter.
Edit: I tried as instructed, but nothing happened because I set the PCIe to 100. The CPU overclocked from 2.83GHz to 3.00GHz. After saving and exiting BIOS, the PC made a reboot sound before restarting with the default CPU clock. It felt like it was rebooting after an off-screen event. Could be my RAM issue—since I have one Kingston and another from E-Lite. I’ll take a screenshot of my RAM on CPU-Z to check.
CountMike shared his Easter greetings and mentioned that RAM frequency also increases when using FSB. He provided a link to an image from CPU-Z showing each RAM stick and explained that increasing FSB can cause instability or damage if the CPU is overclocked, but he feels confident about safe overclocking given the dual BIOS support in his motherboard. He also expressed confusion about why overclocking the CPU disables the PCIe card.
CountMike shared his concerns about PCIe speeds exceeding 100MHz, fearing the GPU might react negatively. He mentioned similar thoughts when told to use a manual setting at 100mhz, noting that while auto can go higher, manual doesn't allow adjustment but his other GPUs work fine. He reached out to Gigabyte for help since it's their motherboard and is seeking advice.
So i attempted gigabyte and received the following situation.
Question: I wanted to find out if there are any options I can take because I can't install my GTX 1050 Ti. Whenever I try, I get a black screen and the PC boots up normally. I've looked online and seen that the GTX 1050 Ti has VBIOS UEFI, but my motherboard doesn't support UEFI BIOS. I've tried everything—installing from the onboard GPU, going through BIOS, disabling the onboard and setting PCIE as primary video—but nothing works.
