Hey guys, this might sound like a stupid question, but can overclocking cause the internet to fail? I fail to see how the two are connected but my internet worked on my new build up until the point I started overclocking. The router doesnt even recognize that the cat5 cable is plugged in(the light doesnt come on). I tried setting everything back to default with the AI Suite but still no internet. If anybody has any ideas, any at all, please feel free to post!
 
Maybe a bios issue? Reflash the bios? Or at least clear the CMOS.
 
Ive never done that before. Do you know of any easy ways to do it? I can access the internet on my laptop(obviously) so i can get a new bios, thats not a problem. I see that the Asus bios has some sort of EZFlash but i dont know if i trust myself without some sort of guide.
 
I've never used the EZ Flash in bios. Lately I've been using the Asus Update in Windows and updating from file I downloaded previously. I haven't had any issues with it.

From what I understand the EZ Flash is fairly simple though. Even works with USB flash drives.
 
Well Hardforum has done it again, I got it working again. I had set the pci slot to 120 and 33.3 respectively and it wasnt able to recognize it I guess. Internet works now, it wasnt the overclock. Thanks for the help everyone!
 
Damn, beat me too it.

Use a PCIe freq of 101 if necessary (IE your overclock is unstable after the change, or your GPU starts acting funky)

Even "Auto" shouldn't boost the PCIe over 100. 101 might be better though just to make sure it locks.
