smoking6 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 ? console gamers.. I bet guys like you shutdown your computer with the power button! Anyway, if you can boot the Bios, your hardware is OK. Just Google for help, cos here you're only gonna get flamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackforce Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 a q9550 which i presume u have will only get around 3.3ghz max on stock and 3.6ghz with an aftermarket cooler. Try 3.2 = 400 * 8 thats what i have and stable wrong he should get 3.8 easy, i have that cpu q9550 and i am sitting at 4.0 on air with a zelman 9700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thales100 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) wrong he should get 3.8 easy, i have that cpu q9550 and i am sitting at 4.0 on air with a zelman 9700 He probably hasnt adjusted voltage to the new clock.

Mr Heckler Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Only CPU took it from 2.8Ghz to 3.8Ghz and rebooted. it locked up. so I hit the Clrcmos button. And it hadn't recovered since then. seems it just stays on the Bios Screen You took it from 2.8 to 3.8ghz without checking you had adequate cooling or even did it in stages and then tested it to see if it was stable? You sir.. are an idiot and you deserved to have it blow up on you. If you don't know what you are doing and plow ahead anyway with no regard or knowledge for what you are doing... then tough sh*t. Go and buy a console instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutslab Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 your f*cking dumb Oh the irony... and oh the irony that the original poster of that wont see the reason for the irony. would that be double irony?

Corgi Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I'm not surprised.... this game is responsible for breaking computers through its installation of malware and spyware, disguised as anti-piracy protection. I think you can say that everyone who has installed a legitimate copy of GTA4 has had their computers broken in some way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can say that everyone who has installed a legitimate copy of GTA4 has had their computers broken in some way or another. I guess you didn't bother to read this thread then ? Since this is about the TC OVERCLOCKING his hardware, so please tell me how you can hold the game responsible for that. As for your sweeping generalisation that "everyone who has a legitimate copy of GTA 4 has had their computer broken in some way", I have had the legitimate version installed on my PC since launch day and my PC behaves exactly the same as it always has, but then I don't seem to be the one trolling around on a GTA fan site at the moment.
