Black screen after CPU voltage increase

[Steowd]

As the topic says , I tryed clearing the bios and taking out the cemose battery and had a look at the CPU can socket no black marks from over volting any help intel i3 2100 3.10ghz

What was the starting and ending voltage?

[colonel_mortis]

Well you shouldn't have to overvolt the CPU because it has a locked multiplier (I think), so you can't overclock it. Clearing the CMOS should work, but try putting it in somebody else's PC and see whether it boots, assuming you have access to another 1155 mobo.

Not sure but it worked w first time then I booted he second time and black screened , I put up the voltage a lot

[Steowd]

How long dose the battery need to be out for

Since you cannot change the multi, you cannot actually overclock.

 

and "I put up the voltage a lot"

 

Probably your CPU is dead.

How long dose the battery need to be out for

 

1min should do

[Steowd]

And there in no beeps out of the motherboard

[Steowd]

Ye I had it out for like 10

[Scia]

Sounds dead to me.

 

Put up the voltage by a lot -> What have you set it on?

 

And a 2100 is not actually overclockable, so the only thing "overvolting" does, is damage the CPU.

[Steowd]

I thought I would be dead ,

[Scia]

What have you set the voltage to?

[Steowd]

Looks like I'm getting a 3570k and not a 670 now , thanks guys , will the motherboard be ok ?

[Steowd]

Almost max I think the voltage was

[Scia]

So to 1.9V O.o that's bad sir.

 

Ahm, I cannot tell you if the motherboard survived. Since I cannot look at it / try it ^^ Perhaps get it to your store, and ask if they could give it a quick test, if you don't have a spare CPU laying around.

 

And it could also be the mobo, more likely the CPU, but ask your local retailer to take a look at which part is broken.

[Steowd]

My local retailer are useless , no help at all

[Scia]

My local retailer are useless , no help at all

 

Unless you have a spare mobo and CPU, it's really hard to test whats broken. Maybe CPU, maybe mobo, maybe both. :/

And never ever again turn up your voltage to max. Especially on a non-K series CPU =P

[Steowd]

I know , I feel so dumb right now

[Steowd]

ok so a 3570k is in the post hopefully it was only the cpu , but i will be getting a z77 board soon any how
