"System Failed due to CPU overclocking"

BHeezy · 01-04-2005, 07:50 PM

so yea, i hate this

i have an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe mobo and one day after a restart it began saying "System Failed due to CPU overclocking" and i cant get it to do anything now. It doesn't start up at all, it powers up and then after about 10 seconds it says this death phrase. I have switched things around on the mobo(memory slots, pulled the battery from the it, cleaned the heck out of it) but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

HOPEFULLY YOU DID NOT FRY SOMETHING WITH THE OVERCLOCKING THAT CAN BE ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS WHEN YOU OVERCLOCK!

sorry about the caps didn't notice it at first!

This is a problem of this mobo you have there

. I've seen a couple of these. Asus tells nothing about such problem but there is.
First what is your CPU and your PCB(and the BIOS version). See the ASUS support list:
CPU Since PCB Since BIOS
Athlon 64 3200+ (Socket754) ALL 1003
Athlon 64 3000+ (Socket754) ALL ALL
Athlon 64 3400+ (Socket754) ALL ALL
Athlon 64 2800+ (Socket754) ALL 1003
Athlon 64 3700+ (Socket754) ALL 1003
Sempron 3100+ (CG version) (Socket754) ALL 1004
Sempron 3100+ (D0 version) (Socket754) ALL 1005

Second: Try to move the RAM chips around the slots (first chip into second slot, etc).

Third: Could be the PSU... what is it? If the 24 pin isn't high enough (20 A from whatI've read somewhere) it may show errors

And fourth: Yeah this board has problems and ASUS still doesn't admit it has. Probably you should write to them asking for a new mobo BIOS chip (they send sometimes). Dunno what else to offer

Good luck

ohw, and please try the special bios reset jumper! I think that's the way to reset your bios into default unclocked state... At least I hope that works for you.

I am getting this same message. Only I am getting it after installing my second 512 memory stick. I know the stick is not faulty because I have taken the old one out and put in this one only and the computer boots up just fine.

I tried going into the bios and changing the following settings:

DDR Frequency: 400mhz (as a pose to auto)

Disable Speech thing

DDR Voltage 2.6v

This is the computer I just purchased that i am having the problem with, it is an asus motherboard, I am not exactly sure what model:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883102612

This is the RAM:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145420

I have emailed newegg, as I have purchased both items from them and have had them less than a week. I am awaiting their response.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
