Bottleneck

[Chich]

Hi everyone, so it's been 6 months since i've bought my 300$ pc, it has a AMD Phenom ii x6 1045t (6 cores, 6 threads) that has a base speed of 2,7 GHz and turbo speed of 3,2GHz. It also has 8 gb of ram 1600mhz. So yes i've got a good pc for the price. The problem is that my cpu never reached turbospeed and was stuck on base speed that is 2,7GHz, and so i coudn't game because I would get fps drops like 140fps to 20-30 fps each 10 seconds. I tried tips to get the best performances but it didn't work I always had fps drops. After that I've done researches and I didn't know what was bottlenecking my cpu, I thought maybe it was my motherboard (it's a 760GM-P23 (fx)) so I went into bios settings and cheked if everything was correct, it showed that my turbo speed was 3,2Ghz and base speed 2,7GHz. I changed one thing, my fsb speed 200mhz to 270mhz and decreased my frequency ratios for the cpu sticking to base and turbo speeds. Then I saved and exit and now my pc isn't giving any signal to my monitor, it turns on but it just is'nt giving any video output.

Can somebody please help me, I don't know if I should flash my motherboard and how.

Thank you

You need to reset your BIOS to default settings, look up how to clear the CMOS for your motherboard. It's usually in the manual, which is on MSI's webpage for that board.

I definitely agree with @Fasauceome, I would also try to make sure it's on the latest release for BIOS as well. I've been able to correct a number of issues that people were having on older hardware just by doing a BIOS update/reset and a clean install of Windows.
