Overclocking Problems

Frawding · July 22, 2016

Earlier this morning I was testing the limit for overclocking my gpu. Everything was going fine, but then my computer crashed. It had happened before if I went over my gpus capability, so I thought nothing of it. I turn it back on and it freezes and it won't respond at all. I try to hold down the power button but that doesn't work, so I just turn it off at the plug. When I try to turn it back on... Nothing happens. No fans or LEDs turn on at all. I tried to clear the cmos, but either I didnt do it right, or thats not it.

(My Motherboard was working fine literally hours earlier, but I think I just toasted it.)
Any suggestions?

My Specs:
PSU: EVGA SuperNova 650watt G2
GPU: Nvidia GTX 650 TI
CPU: I can't remember off the top of my head (I lost the box)
RAM: 2 Sticks of 4 gigs
Motherboard: ASRock 960GC-GS FX
Memory: Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD & 1TB Hard Drive.

Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like either motherboard or PSU is fried. If you are able, test the system with a different PSU, also test it without the GPU installed.

If you don't have access to another motherboard or PSU to test, smell them to see which one smells toastier or see if anything looks burnt out on them.
