Overclocking failed due to new monitor

[Justrahul]

I have recently replaced my old 17" monitor to a new 21" monitor. I have my processor q6600 which is @ 2.8ghz which was working fine untill I swapped the monitor and got BSOD for 2 times at a time period of 1 hour. Did someone face same problem before or is this normal? Thank you

I dont think it is your monitor problem. You would first try clearing the cmos. Use clear_cmos jumper on board,tells you how in manual.

You may have instable power. (or maybe a fan is going dead soon). Put you hand at the back of your PSU, is it cool air coming out or warm. How many watts is it? If it's cool air, then it's not having any problems. Also keep in mind how much stuff you have running off of that PSU Hard Drives, CD-Roms, etc, etc. Almost all hd's are about 15W each. Prime suspect would be northbridge fan, GPU fan, or any other fans in the 40mm range. Most northbridge fans tend to start having problems within 6 months, sometimes sooner.

I had a similar problem where my comp would randomly shut down and/or not restart and just give me the no signal screen on the monitor even though it was on (and the fans were spinning extra loud). I eventually just cleaned out all the dust of everything I could (dismantled video card and got it all out). then doublechecked that every molex was secured snug and haven't had any issues since.
