PC Will not boot after OC'ing

[Dylan531]

I was overclocking my FX 8350 and all was well until I changed the clock speeds of NB and HT link. I changed NB to 2600mhz and HT 2400mhz, saved, and then I heard a click as my PC turned off for good. I had the Vcore at 1.4V and CPU/NB at 1.2V-1.3V, somewhere between there.

I have tried leaving the CMOS battery out, I have tried using the jumper, nothing happens.

When I try booting, the CPU fan turns on and the auxillary fan turns on, but for some reason my GPU fan starts for a moment and then stops. All other peripherals like the disc drive and the HDD appear to do their normal startup routine, but nothing is displayed. Please please help, thank you.

Update: I just turned on my PC and put on my headphones and let it run, and I heard the windows startup sound... It's just my GPU that has the fan start and then stop immediately. Could overclocking my CPU have fucked it up in any way?

Update #2: Maybe a better bet is that the integrated graphics are being used for some reason. I just plugged a VGA connection into the motherboard and booted into windows completely fine, but to no avail the GPU continues just to have its fans spin at the beginning of boot. When I overclocked, the click that happened was rather loud.

Final update: Reseating the card finally made it work, and I'm working on reinstalling the drivers to fix the problems that came with that. Thank you everyone for the help.

Edit your post or the mods will remove it.

What motherboard?

Is there anything displayed on the monitor? How weird, I think my M5A99FX PRO R2.0 runs at those speeds (HT AND NB) by default. What graphics card and motherboard do you have? Try reseatting the GPU too

GPU is an HD 7850 Radeon. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P

Well if you did hear the windows welcome screen loading sound.
Things are better than you think Dylan.

So whats the problem then.
Well apart from getting a bit lost and confused.

If you remember you removed the cmos battery in and attempt to set the bios back to it`s factory defaults.
Well it must of worked Dylan but !

You forgot that in the process of setting the boards bios back to it`s factory defaults.
And if the motherboard has it`s own on board video solution.
That re setting the bios would of defaulted the setting to the video out put ports of the motherboard.

You will have to connect your monitor cable to the motherboard.
Then you should be able to see the bios post.

Enter the bios.
And change the default primary graphics card interface to be initialized first to Pci-e if you have a Pci-e based graphics card seated in the Pci-e slot of the motherboard.

Save the settings before you exit the bios.
And swap the video monitor cable from the motherboard to the video output ports of the Pci-e graphics card.

Dylan.
It`s the most likely case if you still had the video cable for the monitor connected to the Pci-e based graphics card at first.
And it was left connected to the Pci-e card after a factory default of your bios as to why no display is shown on the Pci-e based 7850 card.

With a bit of luck you should get a output or video display from the Pci-e based card after the bios changes.
Should work fine after that.

Seriously !!!

The boards not capable of running a stock 8350 & you've tried to overclock by bumping CPU voltage , nb voltage & upping nb & ht speeds !! Insane Nate really.

The click was probably a cap on the board popping somewhere , hopefully on the way to the pci-express slots so your card is safe.

That board has HD 3200 igp , try it & see if you get a display .
If not the board is toast.

Sadly I've had to reset the CMOS before and this is not the problem. I just checked right now and followed your instructions just to be sure, but the "Init Display First" option is already defaulted to the PCI slot, shich is where my 7850 sits.

I had it at a stable 4.0 Ghz and I have a 212 hyper evo, not a stock cooler. After putting on some new Arctic Silver, I was hoping I could get it higher. Anyways, the onboard graphics are working perfectly fine, see my above reply where I checked that the PCI Slot was indeed being the first choice

So it would lead to the Pci-e cardslot being damaged.
If you have a second free Pci-e slot for the 7850 card try fitting the card to that slot instead.

If you still get no video output signal from the card it may be likely you have damaged it.

And the only way to test if that theory is true is to try the Pci-e card in another system or motherboard known to be working, to be able to confirm the card is at fault and not the Pci-e slots of your motherboard.

It`s what I would do to find out if it was the card or the Pci-e slots on the motherboard no longer functioning properly.

I just tried reseating it and the card is now working thank the heavens! As it turns out the MB is so small that I have to remove the GPU to pop out the battery EVERY TIME, and even though I try to make doubly certain it's seated properly, apparently it wasnt
