Overclocking failed problem.
Overclocking failed problem.
Overclocking encountered issues after adjustments (from 0.089 to 0.95 and 0.250). No visible problems with RAM, PSU, or CPU. BIOS successfully recognized my hard drive in IDE mode, indicating the issue wasn't from the drive itself. After using Windows in IDE mode with SATA, the computer shut down unexpectedly, followed by a Blue Screen error (0x000074) the next day. I attempted a force SFEC scan and System Repair, but neither resolved the problem. The Computer Repair option was unavailable. I lack a reinstallation disk or USB drive to fix it now, but I plan to try borrowing a CD or DVD tomorrow. After performing a CMOS reset (as remembered), I reinserted the battery and jumper for 5-3 minutes before restarting. Upon booting, I encountered a Black Screen of Death with cursor. I changed cables to verify everything was correct. I’m unsure if my actions caused the issue.
Details: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NSC0
Hard Drive: WDC WD2500AVVS-62L2B0 (250.0GB) GreenPower, Western Digital
RAM: Corsair 4096MB 1333MHz 4GB DDR3
CPU info: Intel® Pentium® CPU G3240 @ 3.10GHz Speed: 3100MHz
Motherboard: ASUS H81-PLUS
BIOS version: 2105
SATA setup: SATA6G _1 (Yellow) – used ATA 30V cable, Black
SATA6G_2 (Yellow) HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NSC0 ATAPI (DVDRAM, Black 6G/s)
SATA3G_1 (Dark Brown) Empty
SATA3G_2 (Dark Brown) Empty
Current SATA mode: IDE
DRAM Timing Control: 9-9-9-24-1
CSM: Enabled (UEFI and Legacy OPROM, Legacy OPROM first, Legacy OPROM first, Legacy OPROM first)
Machine: Hanns G HQ191D
Main Display: IGPU (still not working on Auto after voltage change)
CPU Load-Line Calibration: Regular, 250KHz. Voltage fluctuates between 1.089V and 1.094V before resetting CMOS. This could be linked to the CMOS reset altering BIOS settings. No hardware faults detected on motherboard.
Any suggestions would be appreciated; thank you for your attention. Have a great day.
The G3240 is fixed at its multiplier and cannot be overclocked. Even the Samaritans are not allowed to do that.
Hi, I understand that it's locked, but perhaps adjusting the CPU Input Voltage causes some issues. It seems the CPU Input voltage is now set to Auto, yet the voltage remains unchanged. You're facing three main problems: overclocking failed error, voltage changes when resetting the motherboard battery, and a black screen with cursor. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
The cpu was overvolted without any clear cause now it's showing bios defaults. It seems there might be an issue. Because replacing the cpu isn't cost-effective, consider upgrading with a new core system, ram, and motherboard. You may also lose your windows license.
It's tough when a pc fails.
DavidM012 shared concerns about the CPU being overvolted without clear reason, leading to BIOS defaults and potential hardware issues. He suggests considering a new system instead of replacing the CPU, noting it might also affect Windows licensing. He mentioned borrowing a DVD with installation or repair options from a friend tomorrow, realizing the situation could worsen.
Luckily, you may only have to swap the cpu instead of the motherboard, and you could purchase a g3258 which is the overclocked version.
