EDIT:
Cliff notes:
tried to hit 2.0vcore to see what temps would do
computer wouldn't post at 1.9v
reset cmos / computer still wouldn't post
pulled vid card / reset cmos, computer works
tried vid card again, plus another one that i know works.. computer won't post with either one..

did i fry my agp slot? i checked all my bios settings and they are fine.. i could use the igp, but i would rather run my fsb at 220 instead of 175 (since the igp is only supported to 166)

so what do people think? i am going to try those vid cards in a differnt computer tonight to verify that they work, but i know for sure the 1 card works..


original post:

i changed the vcore to 1.9.. it worked at 217 x 11 @ 1.75.. then i tried 217 x 11.5 @ 1.85 and got a bsod.. so i went back to 1.75 x 11.. it was running fine... and then tried 217 x 11.5 @ 1.9... no post.. i tried holding insert while starting the computer on 3 different keyboards... that didn't work..

i guess i need to crack the case...

and there are no abnormal beeps....

i am going to pull the vid card first.. then try to find a manual cmos reset.. and work from there,

anyone have any other ideas?
 
ok.. the jumper worked..

any ideas of why my comp can do 1.9 vcore? i am thinking that some of the rails could be giving out...

ok.. i can only get it to work with the vid card pulled... how could i have possibly fried a video card by fuxing with the vcore?

i guess i learned that it is not a good idea to try to get my vcore up to 2v just to see what the temps do...

ok.. i got another known good vid card... it won't work.. same thing.. i am scouring the bios to see if there is a thing telling it to boot from the igp first, but it is coming up empty...
i got (init display first : pci slot , or onboard/agp) it was set to pci, which is default, and worked before.. so i don't think that is it..

so my final comment, question for tonight, is
did i fry my agp slot?
and how do i find out?
 
bump... see first post for my "cliff notes"
the computer works, but not with an agp card.. that is not acceptable...
