(that's the military phonetic alphabed if you're wondering.)
Okay. I have an AMD 1800+. Now, until recently, for some reason, my PC was UNDERclocked from 1.53 to 1.15, or, more specifically, from 11.5x133 FSB to 11.5x100 FSB. (I dunno why I haven't done anything about it until recently.) So, a night or two ago, I finally decided to fix the problem using FuzzyLogic IV (I have an MSI KT3U mainboard). I check all the stats after doing so, and surprise of surprises--there's no notable difference in temp or voltage (about 3 Celsius from 59 to 62). (Can't say I'm sure how the voltage is relevant--like I said, I'm a n00b.) So, for the hell of it, I decided to take the multiplier up a notch to 12. No noticeable difference in temp or voltage, again. I take it up again to 13--still no difference. Now, then, I take it up to 14...and the whole system stops responding. I've tried everything in my n00b arsenal--rebooting, cutting and restoring power, etc.--and the system still will not give me more than the sound of the fans running. (In other words, the lights are on but nobody's home.) Anyone think they have a solution? I'm 15 years old and kind of broke with no income, so buying something new is kind of a last resort for me.
