Hello everyone!

 

So one time I tried overclocking my A10-6800K from 4.1 GHz to 4.2 GHz. This overclock was made in EasyTune 6, which is a tweaking and monitoring software that came with the motherboard. I clicked on the option that said 4.2 GHz(not higher because I had stock cooling) and after that I restarted my PC to have the overclock take effect. But once I turned on my PC, nothing would display. The PC itself was running fine with all the fans in the system were spinning - everything seemed fine but nothing displayed.

 

This motherboard is a Gigabyte F2-A78M-D3H - A78 chipset, which means it supports overclocking, but apparently it didn't like this overclock. After the problem started I just reset to the factory clocks and it worked fine.

 

Did it black screen because I had an incorrect setting in my BIOS set? Did I need to wait for my PC to turn the display back on? Or does this motherboard not handle overclocking good?

 

Feel free to post any comments down below if you can answer this. It would help me a lot :)

Most likely yes.

Yeah I personally wouldn't trust the auto-overclock, but that's more personal opinion. I've always had better results doing the overclock myself. But I also wouldn't recommend any kind of overclock with stock cooling.
