Hmm, need some pretty urgent help here please
This is my specs, cos i know theyll be needed:
Asus P4S333 MB
P4 2GHz (Northwood methinks)
512MB PC2700 RAM
Geforce 2 mx 400 VideoCard
Couple of HDDs
Liteon DVD Burner
Liteon CD burner
and my problem:
I have been slowly overclocking this pc, and it was running absolutely fine at 20x 115 = 2300MHz, 1.6 Vcore. Then I tried to crank it up a notch. 20x 117 = 2340, 1.65 vcore (well i went to 1.625 but it wasnt stable)
It ran fine for a while, few days maybe, with temps around 35 idle, 50 full load.
Today i decided to do a long 9 hour stress ttest with Prime 95, to ensure it was perfectly stable - big mistake...came in and it was shut off, and wouldnt switch back on.
I cleared the CMOS as per the manual - nothing
Disconnected all but the MB, RAM, Video card and CPU and tried - nothing
Tried an old RAM stick - nothing
So now i am faced with that its either the Video card, CPU, MB or PSU.
I would doubt its the Video card, cos i havent touched it.
When i plug the pc in, i get a little light on the motherboard light up, when i press the power button, the heatsink fan turns maybe 1 or 2 degrees then stops. This would suggest that its not the PSU.
So i am left with that its prob the cpu/mb...i would hazard a guess at the CPU, it seems most likely.
Anyone got any words of inspiration? What would you suggest seems to be the problem?
BTW: there is no noise (beeps etc)
Please help - Ill have to order something soon else i cant get to my movies
