120942	2003-02-13 19:53:00	I have just bought a new system, and everything had been running fine (Gigabyte gA-7VA motherboard) While i was in the bios i thought i would enable the "Top Performance" bios settings, i did this saved and exited the bios, upon restar the mointor remained blank, the drives spun up and so did the system fans. THe monitor now says that there is no signal. Do you reckon i've blown something? In the manual "top performance" says nothing about overclocking the systems settins, hence why i think it would be unusual for anything to blow!	roofus (483)

120946	2003-02-14 02:04:00	I found the clear CMOS, it wasn't a jumper setting, rather two solder mounds that you have to connect with a piece of wire to clear it. Anyway that didn't work, I've taken it into the computer shop now, he's not to sure why its not going either, personally i think the motherboard is shot, It concerns me why it blew up after changing performance settings though. Will report back when i hear back from the computer man	roofus (483)
