PLL problem

[woodeirl]

hi there guys i think i have screwed my pll on my motherboard when i was testing overclocking a prescott i think it happend around 3600mhz mark when fine tuning.....

now when i go into cpu cool and goto the pll option to fine tune the hole OS Hangs!

Now i think that the pll chip on my MB has to be replaced or does it?

I Need some opinions on this if anybody knows?

and as well im trying install directx 9c and i currently have 9b but when start the file that i got from microsoft about 32 mb in size all it does is extracts some files and then when i run the setup.exe file it does the usual and then i click install, and then in less than i split second it says that is complete, but when i goto check in 3d mark in the details tap it still says that it only 9b,

so really im kinda baffled on this one because i dont really like messing with the directx files etc

can anyone help with this aswell please?
winxp pro sp2
MB ASUS P4S800

Intel Pentium 4 3.2ghz

Thanks guys

If your PLL were toast, I highly doubt that your machine would even boot. Something in your software is hosed, more likely. Couldn't tell you what, though.

i have unistalled it and reinstalled it but i get the same thing.

i have also downloaded the CPUFSB program from the files section here and tried that but when i went to check the pll fine tuning with that programs it gave me a message "Error reading PLL output"

The PLL generates the clock frequencies that drive AGP, PCI, IDE, LPC, USB, and the CPU. As such, it's a crucial part of the motherboard. If you'd toasted the PLL, the machine wouldn't even post, let alone get anywhere near Windows.

It does sound rather like a software issue. I presume that all the programs you've been running require something like GiveIO.sys in order to operate?

yeh your right it was something to do with software as im back in action now,
and i sorted my direct x problem too but i had to uninstall sp2 and thats left me with direct x 8.1 so i then upgraded from 8 to 9c but everytime i upgrade to sp2 it bloody puts my direct x version to 9b which i dont want. and i cant change it at all

any ideas on getting sp2 with direct x 9c, now ive read that it comes with sp2
