So, just got back from Fry's, and had a friend test all the components
of the computer. He tested the video card(working), the ram(working),
the CPU (Working), but i never got to test the mobo because i
thought, well, if the all the components that attach to the mobo are
working, then there's nothing else left then the Power Supply, and
the Mobo. And, the Power Supply is a 600W coolmaster, so I don't
think that the power supply is my problem! I guess I have fried the
mobo in some way??!?!?!?! The green light still lights up, so i can't
figure it out! If anyone can please get back to me with an idea, that
would be great. I've cleared the RTC (like 7 times already by
unplugging the power, pulling the tiny battery, and then switching
the jumpers for 20 seconds then go back in reverse.) Still, i get
nothing. I think the only logical reason is the motherboard must be
shot . . . any takers?
I also just tried swapping out the new PS with the old one, and it did
the same thing it was doing before. With the old Power Supply, the
computer doesn't even run. With the new PS it runs but no beep is
heard, and no screen is brought up. So, after much reading, and much
stress; I have come to the conclusion that the problem is a bad mobo
after a electrical shock. I'm going to try one last thing, and that
is to replace the cmos battery with a new one. Maybe it got messed up
when the power shock happened. Anyway, your insight is much
appriciated phil. I have read, and re-read the overclocking guide you
posted. If you can, please help me out one last time Your comments
are looked forward to.

(sorry, bout the double post, but you said i should reply to your
message. Only problem is i can only Quote it. So . . here.

Try your CPU in ANY compatible, working system; it need not be an
identical
system.
Try a known good, compatible CPU in your present system.

Don't make assumptions about the cause of the problem, especially
about the
power supply. As of now, you don't even know that either one is
working
correctly.

Without some way of checking the three components separately you are
not
going to make progress in diagnosis (power supply/CPU/{rest of the
system;
mainly the motherboard}).

DO NOT make assumptions based on too little knowledge and
experience. I
can't see your system, so you are the one who will have to diagnosis
it, or
at least gather the information. Somehow you must check the CPU,
power
supply, and rest of the system to detect the fault.

Or, as a final resort, buy a second Intel 805 D and try it with your
system
at STOCK voltage and speed. Once you sort out the getting operation
at
STOCK voltage and speed, then try the original 805 D again. Then
try the
original power supply again. Do things slowly, carefully, one step
at a
time, writing down each change you make. All the things you did not
do the
first time around.

Read my post on overclocking in reply to 'Chalky'.

Also, any posts in a thread should be in reply to the correct
message; your
reply should be to my message, not to the original post.

Good luck. It may be that you have lost a CPU, but gained valuable

knowledge. If you don't make mistakes, you likely aren't learning
much.

| Phil,

more

wouldn't

| coolmaster 600W, everything started up and stayed started. Its
just
| there was no boot screen or anything.

| Side Note : When i got fruystrated i reset the RCT by

and

stayed

and

your
