Last night I had lowered my original RAM latencies from 3-5-5-5 to 2-3-5-5. Oh and yes, my ram is a kit of 2x512mb Kingston. In addition I increased the Voltage by +0.2V, in order to keep the OC stable, because when I previously tried, Battlefield 2 would crash to the desktop. Everything was going fine on BF2, i was playing as the MEC and winning so then I went to bed. I seemed to of have forgotten that I OC'ed my P4 from 3.2Ghz to 3.85 with a voltage of 1.4250.
Now as I write this post this morning, it is after my computer will fail to start. Normally my computer will go to the screen where windows xp checks the Dual Interleaved memory or something like that, then after that it would go to device check Master, slave etc then it would go to the windows xp loading screen. However, now it just stops at the first screen and fails to enter bios and fails to enter Xpress Recovery (F9). My current Video card is a PCI-E X850 PRO ASUS, though I overclocked it once, I think this is irrelavant.
I am quite sure that the problem is that my RAM has been destroyed, and/or (hopefully not) my hard drive has been corrupted. I could very well be wrong. A solution to this problem would be a bonus but all I really would like to know is what part of my hardware is damaged from overclocking so that I can replace it.
Thanks in advance
