I wanted to overclock my Athlon XP 2600+. I have a 550 watt PSU.
Anyway I followed a guide to overclocking and went inside my bios, I left the multiplier as it was at 12.5, I then changed the FSB from 166/33 to 167/33.
So basically an overclock from 2.075 to 2.087 ghz. When I booted up windows everything went fine. I then checked the temps and they usually run 48 C at Idle and like 55-57 C at full load when running it stock. I know they are high but I am using stock cooling.
Anyway the temps were at like 54 C idle with the overclock. They were at about 66-67 C when running Prime95 and my computer just shut down. I planned on just putting it back to normal and waiting for my new PC to do overclocking but the PC won't turn back on now.
This just happened like 10 minutes ago, so maybe i have to give it some time to cool down or something? Please help me out or reassure me that I'm ok, Im kinda upset right now.
