Hello there been searching the forums for an answer but have been unable to find one so heres my thread.
I've been trying to overclock my cpu but am running into problems. First time i tried a '10% increase' overclock and the result was me having to get the tusty windows cd out to repair the system, also lost 50gb of random files. 2nd time i tried a manual increase from '333' to '350' cpu frequency and lost access to the internet and had to do a system restore. Now windows just doesnt want to load.
I've tried overclocking through the bios aswell as the asus software (AI suite) that came with the motherboard. Also updated to newest bios version. Also tried overclocking through the nvidia control panel which wasnt a good idea as u cant access that in safe mode :s.
Right some system specs you might want to know
Windows Vista 64x
CPU: Q9450
GPU: 9800gx2
MB: ASUS Striker II (nvidia 790i chipset)
Any help would be much apreciated
Thanks
