hey guys,
just so we start on the right foot, im on my old computer right now because my sig rig is indeed broken.
i saw this experiment someone did with their H50 where they put the radiator in a bucket of ice water and i thought it would be a good idea to do it.
so i did.......
everything was going great, i had a idle temp of 10° and a max load temp of 23°. then i overclocked my 965 to 4ghz @ 1.55 voltage, it booted and passed a LinX test so i was like, lets try to go higher!
so i tried 4.2ghz @ 1.587, this is where i ran into a problem, i couldn't get it to boot, so i figured oh well, it wont go that high, so i went back down to 4ghz, wouldn't boot, went down to 3.8, wouldn't boot, went to stock 3.6(?) wouldn't boot.
so i said fine, i went to start up repair thinking nothing of it and it still wouldn't boot.
went into the bios to check if i missed anything - nope, tried to start, wouldn't boot.
so i said fine, maybe i kinda did something seriously bad, i thought maybe i fried my processor - nooooo, cause its getting to the starting windows screen but crashes after that, so its not the processor...
so i booted to ubuntu and everything checked out fine...
hmmmm... so i tried repairing the operating system with the windows CD, went through the procedure, wouldn't boot.
so i ran a whole bunch of tests from the bios, everything checked out okay, mobo, ram, cpu, hard drive, disk drive, everything passed the tests.
only thing i didn't try was reinstalling windows, but i don't want to do that because i have over 400 gigs of movies and TV shoes... so i packed everything up, plugged in this old computer and im calling it a night....
any suggestions?
