Hi people
I have a nasty habit of o/cing my system a little too far, and lately I have been recieving the "input not detected...cable disconected" message.
The PV boots up, but I get no display. Usually, I take out the battery and clear the CMOS which works, but it failed to work one time neccessitating a trip to the local PC shop for help. They sorted it out for me, but I didn't get a lowdown as to what actually happened.
What actually causes this and is there anything I can do to prevent it?
(Other than o/cing the machine, of course !happy )
Hi and welcome to PCD! Let's start by getting your specs and overclocking settings. Blank screen could be too high overclock on the FSB or RAM.
Thanks Christo.
Specs are
8800 GTX (no o/c on that)
ASUS A8N SLI-32 delux mobo
1 gb. Geil Value RAM (DDR 400)
AMD 4800X2 processor (S939)
Aopen 530W PSU
Frankly, it has happened on different oc settings like:
12X230 FSB (2760 mhz)
7X300 FSB ( 2100 mhz)
If I leave the clock multiplyer at 12, anything over 230 fsb causes the above-mentoned problem.
If I drop the multiplyer down (and RAM accordingly to 133 mhz) anything over 290 fsb has the same result.
Could it be the RAM?
Okay, I do it and report back ASAP. (Gotta download CpuZ first and get home). Thanks for the correspondence!
PS - voltage and RAM timings were left as standard.
No prob. Awaiting reply ;)

Don't forget about the HTT.
I have the same motherboard, and it seems I can set my FSB to whatever I want, regardless of the HTT, but most people recommend that you don't let it go over 2000.
The A8N32-SLI Deluxe has a built-in safeguard against overclocks that go wrong. If you turn your PC on and don't get a display (which will result in the 'input not detected' message), then keep your PC power button pressed until it turns off (which may take 4 or 5 seconds). When you press it again to turn your machine back on, it should boot with no problems, having reset your overclock. It will then typically stop on the BIOS screen to inform you that your previous overclock has been reset, at which point you have the option of returning to the BIOS for some more overclocking, or just continuing with the normal boot procedure.
Welcome to PCD, by the way !happy
Thanks Morgue. Tried all that I'm afraid...no luck. I've downloaded CPU-Z, but how do you capture the data? There is no "save as" feature and no other way I can think of to reproduce the screens here. (except using a digital camera) Is there a utility I need to use or something?
