    O.C., & Graphics go Nuts, Artifacts galore+

    Sound advice, simonkey, I've pretty much always steered clear of the PCIE v.just because I never had any reason to mess with it, and it never seemed highly recommended but, I'm open to anything. Northbridge makes sense but, I don't recall seeing anything spelled in those terms. Does it go by...

    Changing bios settings does nothing, can't OC

    Thanks for the reply. Thats interesting, I don't know no how I would find out if I have dual bios. What would cause it to become permanently unstable (if thats what you meant? Does the cpu or mobo just get a little burned out? Overclocking initially has always been hit an miss on this set up...

    Changing bios settings does nothing, can't OC

    Update: I re-flashed the latest bios again, turned down the cpu a smidge, upped the FSB voltage from ,1 to ,2 over and it worked, well, post and XP now read a whopping 2.66 mhz. See if it's stable. Sure would like to get it back up to at least 3.2 but I did it so long ago I can't recall what I...

    Fritzed monitor, have a look...help...?

    Alright thanks elledan, thats certainly an option. I just picked up a brand new dell 22 wide off of craigs list cheap. Figure I'd have to pay someone at least $100 to fix this old one. The LCD is definitely good. I can still bring up the desk top for a sec. just by turning it off and on and the...

    Fritzed monitor, have a look...help...?

    A day out of warranty...not nearly so ironic, 'bout 2 years. Thanks for the reply's, Would a fried transistor or what ever be visible? I don't mind ripping into the thing but I'm not really qualified to poke around with a DMM and schematics. If I can open it up and spot a problem...
