Hey. I think my PC may just have keeled over.
I was playing quite happily away on a game, when suddenly, the framerate goes to crap. I quit out, and check the computer Temperatures, and it looks like the CPU has exceeded the threshold where I specified it should clock back to preserve itself.
I turn the thing off to allow it to cool, being a little worried, and when I come back to it now (20 minutes later), there's nothing. The machine starts, as in there's power in the system, but the monitor never actually picks up a signal.
I'm running a XP3000+, 1 Gig of 333mhz memory, a Leadtek 6800GT, all on an nForce 2 Motherboard.
Everything is at stock speeds. The GT was overclocked up until yesterday when I installed Splinter Cell, but it had a clash with my Drivers, so I had to update them, which would have wiped ouf the Coolbits overclock, and I never re-did it.
It was running fine all of last night, and up until now today.
Anyone ever come across anything like this?
