That's a sure sign that it's a bad overclock.

ReV smokey255 · Sep 11, 2004, 12:00 AM

is it fixable

TwistedMetal · Sep 11, 2004, 12:01 AM

Just don't overclock it, put it back to it's original settings.

WisMerHill · Sep 11, 2004, 12:02 AM

1st set your pc back to default settings in the bios.
as for the symptoms you describe it could be a that you have no pci/agp lock or it isn't activated, tho this is a wild guess since you don't give a lot of information.
to better understand you have to give us more details like:
-pc specs
-what exactly did you did in terms of overclocking
-what's the exact windows error you got

then one quick tip for now, try system restore and restore to a previous date before you began to experiment. find it in : start > all pograms > accessories > system restore.

overclocking isn't something to be undertaken lightly without at least basic knowledge of what your doing, not trying to offend you but there's a reason your warranty will void if you overclock, it's risky and can permantly damage hardware.

ReV smokey255 · Sep 11, 2004, 12:07 AM

i did it in bios in the system frencyes raised it 5% thats what i did i mean its coming on and working so i am sure everyhting all right

ReV smokey255 · Sep 11, 2004, 12:08 AM

i have learned the lesson never doing it again is it fixable

WisMerHill · Sep 11, 2004, 12:10 AM

sorry m8, don't know if english if your native language but you talk a bit confusing to me, do you mean you have it fixed now by saying: its coming on and working so i am sure everyhting all right?

or you mean your pc is ok now but windows is still only booting safe mode and giving errors. ?

ReV smokey255 · Sep 11, 2004, 12:11 AM

no its not fixed yet sorry i am using so bad grammer worried sick i am just scared real scared

ReV smokey255 · Sep 11, 2004, 12:14 AM

its not in safe mode the blue screen says something about safe mode

WisMerHill · Sep 11, 2004, 12:14 AM

Ok, can you tell me the error you received, if you tell me that i might be able to tell if its hardware or software based, it's probably software which is fixable so for now try to relax. please be as clear as possible and list the hardware and config you have in your pc

ReV smokey255 · Sep 11, 2004, 12:16 AM

ok umm havent check errors or anything right when it was messing up i but it back on defualt settings and was stilling doing it umm
i am running a
amd athlon 3500
6800gt
600 wat enermax
1 gb of ocz pc3200

~~HawK~~ · Sep 11, 2004, 12:22 AM

You sure you did overclock the CPU alone or maybe the PCI/AGP bus
when over clocking the PCI bus, it is possible to get write errors, check your hard drive for errors and if it can't check for the errors, could mean your system-files are damaged, then simplest solution would be to reinstall windows.

WisMerHill · Sep 11, 2004, 12:23 AM

so from the sound of it you only have windows errors and still can boot and hardware looks fine. If so it's probably easy fixed with a windows reinstall idd, one of the most common errors when overclocking are windows missing boot files, ntloader and ntoskrn. these are fixed by a reinstall or a repair which is an option during windows setup when setup detects you present install, you can then choose to repair or install a fresh copy.

ReV smokey255 · Sep 11, 2004, 12:25 AM

ya it said something about a file my god i love you guys for the help its not fixed yet i will take it to compusa for security blanket i am scared shitless but you saying that and it said something about a file or something when starting up

WisMerHill · Sep 11, 2004, 12:30 AM

rgr, good luck with it then and let us know if a windows reinstall fixed it, got
curious now

glad to be of assistance so far.

ReV smokey255 · Sep 11, 2004, 12:32 AM

you think it will man

WisMerHill · Sep 11, 2004, 12:38 AM

yes, if it's one of the system errors as hawk and i described it's fixed with a simple reinstall.
to reassure you a bit, i personnaly never had one thing "broken" by overclocking and i did have several times when i was i the same situation you appear to be and fixed it every time. 5% overclock ussually isn't enough to kill hardware, 5% on htt means fsb 210 and i've never seen hardware(comparable to your specs) that couldn't recover from that.

gotta go now, 01.45 hour cet here, so i need some sleep

Lol thx No_Style,
he did PM me as well , and i told him exactly the same

but anyhow, that's one of the reasons i'm here, you'll learn somethings from others and you give some back, life isn't a one way street imo

ReV smokey255 · Sep 11, 2004, 04:59 PM

i have to wait for the storm to pass but when i do start windows it says something about a file or something then that it was sucess then 15 mins later i get this blue screen telling me safe mode but overall fixable hopefully you know if it is not i will pay my mom back and get the 3800 but overall i hope it is becausse that would be not good

lesson 1 never overclock a cpu see read my post i am not trying to sound mean. but see if your wanting to do it because your got up in the competive nature see my problem got to read more i guess you learn from your mistakes

no style my homegirl

i am also real happy it looks like the hurricane will pass me after getting hit my charlie and francies i dont want another hurricane no more hurricanes

ReV smokey255 · Sep 18, 2004, 07:20 PM

it is fixed all that was needed was a simple system restore haha ya scarey listen anyone who first time never oc a cpu make sure you know what your getting in to or because it is not the best thing to do for beginners you should be at least a enthiuist that means you know exatly what to do or you know i learned first hand there but i am going to reformat because i cant unistall some prorgames but i had already unistall before so i need a to reformat
