Have you reset the BIOS? If not, it would not hurt to reset the BIOS and then go in and change all the setting to the way they were when you were getting the good overclocks.

I have tried that i have raised the volt on my ram and leaned the timings too but none works.
First it would boot into windows at 230 and be stable for hours of gaming but now at the same settings it runs only 205.

here are my specs

3.0p4
512mb corsair value soon to be 1g of g-skill la
IC7-g
EVGA 6800gt
120g wd 7200
450watt aspire
zalman cnps7000-cu

When you say, "but now with the same settings it runs only 205", which settings are you refering to ?

I mean 2.5 3 3 7 at 2.8 volt

Does it boot at all when you're @ 230? Maybe you need more power to the CPU.

I'm thinking PSU problem ...... hmmm. Aspire .... wait til Necro sees this.

Those look like DRAM Timings and Voltage to me, they don't directly effect processor speed. You probably know this and the way the thread has developed is just confusing. Of course if the DRAM is too far out of spec then you will still have problems booting, but I was under the impression it was your CPU frequency we were looking at.

I think we need a very detailed breakdown of all your BIOS settings for the CPU, DRAM, etc. before we can help. ALso, I know what Mobo you have, and RAM, but not the CPU, is it a 3 Gig Prescott or a 3 Gig Northwood ?

okay i have my dram at1:1 and my 3.0 is a northwood. But i was tring differant things and had it clocked to 230 stable. But then I bumped it up and know she won't boot and gives me this noise. I reset the coms but nothing what went wrong this just after changing the timing to 3-4-4-8.

how the damn thing won't even turn on but i have the green power lite.

Couger, I have been overclocking and had the same thing happen, system wouldn't boot for over a day, then all of a sudden, it works again. But we need all the info to help you out.

We now have the CPU, Mobo, and RAM.

You need to open your system, unplug the power cord, remove the CMOS Battery, and let it sit for awhile, go outside and smoke a ciggerette, or watch an episode of Friends, whatever.

Then put the Battery back in, plug in the power cord, boot to BIOS, and reset defaults. Then enter stock settings and see if she boots up for you. A word of caution, playing with voltages is risky, I know guys do it all the time, but they damage their gear all the time as well. I am not saying you shouldn't do it, I am saying that you should not do it lightly, and not at all if you can't replace your gear easily.

Let's get your system running again first, then we can play with the OC again

My mobo has a jumper for the reseting of the cmos. But i had the jumper in the wrong way so it didn't boot. So now it boots but for now i am using stock speeds then i am goin to buy some g-skill la 1g.

simple mistake glad it wasn't something bad!
