Strange problem XP wont boot past splash screen
The other day the computer would not get past the splash screen. There was no new hardware or software at all. I went in and set bios back to default and it booted up fine. The question is, what caused this in the first place and if I turn it off is it going to do it again?
Overclocking can and will cause all sorts of problems, the one that you have juste mentioned is a classic problem. XP is more sensetive to overclocking than many programs are, and if your PDC wont even load windows, you have pished something too far.
The last time I had a go at overclocking I destroyed Windows, and had to totally re-install it.......... oops
