A little help here guys....

[Stressed]

This is the secound Asus A7N8X Deluxe I've gone through in the passed 3 months(and 6 weeks of that was waitting for my other motherboards from asus)...I am OCing it but I'm just pushing a Barton 2500 to a 3200(200x11)...All I did was turn off the comp and couldn't turn it back on(same as the last one)...I'm think it's the PS because it's running the CPU core at all most a tenth of a volt more then it's set for...Anyone else having the same problem?...

When you turn it back on does anything happen? Do any fans or anything come on?<BR>Can you post your complete system specs?

[Avid6eek]

Does the power light on the case come on?

[Stressed]

The lights come on and the fans turn on and it doesn't post at all...

im not siure if this works but have you tried reseting the cmos jumper if it has one

I have similar problems every time I make changes in the BIOS to change the FSB setting. Try turning off the main power switch on the PSU (the one in the back, not the power button on the case) and then switching it back to the ON position. Then press the power button on the case to boot up your computer. When I do this, it allows me to post and get into the BIOS SoftMenu again (but with default values instead of the ones I first put in). I simply change the values again to what I want and reboot and it will post and start up with the changes I have made.<BR><BR>This may solve your problem, but I'm not sure because I have an Abit NF7-S mobo, not an Asus one.

[Stressed]

I've tried resetting the Cmos like 30 times and it doens't do any thing...

[CompSnake]

Stressed I'd hate to tell you this, but I dont think it's your PSU. You may have fried your mobo, before you RMA or anything try a different videocard.

Don't feel bad Stressed....I was messing w/ my system before I came to work, trying to do a little more overclocking, and now it won't boot. I've reset the CMOS and everything....it still won't boot. Guess it's time for some new hardware <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Have either of you removed the CMOS battery entirely (leave it for 5min or so) yet? Whenever the jumper hasn't worked for me, doing this has.<BR>Also stressed, did you turn off the computer in the middle of saving changes to the BIOS? If you did, then you need to get yourself a second BIOS chip and learn how to hot swap (excaliberpc.com sold me one for my NF7-S) and reprogram the unbootable BIOS chip again.

I know I'm a computer nub, but I'm not a dumass, rithemking :-). I would be with Shiznit on this one, but the Athlon64s aren't out yet and I don't know if I can go with out a comp for 3 weeks :-/. But, I may have to if takes as long as it did before with asus.

My computers alive!!!! Well, not really. I messed up my installation of WinXP on it. Now I have to reform the drive and reinstall windows <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Thankfully I had an extra drive with Windows already installed on it <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

<BR><< <i>I know I'm a computer nub, but I'm not a dumass, rithemking :-)</i> >><BR><BR>Look Stressed. As a newb, I have been there and done that. Some of the dumbest sh!t you could imagine (like trying to install Win98SE on an unformatted HDD - LOL). I was not implying anything. And since I am not <u>psychic</u> I have to ask.<BR>You know what no one else has bothered to ask? What brand/sizr PSU are you trying to OC with? I just had a PSU crap out on my non-overclocked system. 430watt Turbolink at that. The lights and fans would run, but it wouldn't post at all.

[Stressed]

lol, it's cool rithemking, i really don't care...i have a POS 450W PSU from Austin that came with my Chieftec case...

[TranceJunkieXL]

how are the 12v and 5.5v rails looking?

[Stressed]

they held about 4.8v and 12.5v and almost never changed, even when OCing...it was the Vcore that was jumping every where...which i don't know how they held and the Vcore jumped every where....
