I was messing around in the AMD VISION Engine Control Center And my Computer just immediately shut down, I tried to start it in safe mode to fix what I have done but then I can't access the AMD VISION Engine Control Center!

Please help!

what were you doing in the vision center?

changing the clock of the graphics card or CPU?

dexter7 · « **Reply #2 on:** December 31, 2011, 19:28:34 »

I think I was in the graphics... I hope I didn't break it! I'm pretty sure I didn't because it was fine at the speed for quite a while!

Ralphy · « **Reply #3 on:** December 31, 2011, 19:29:53 »

so can you start the pc normally?

Maybe you should take a look inside your PC (by opening the case). $:-\$

And I hear the GPU running.

So you can start it in safe mode without any problems you just can't get into CCC on that?

dexter7 · « **Reply #8 on:** December 31, 2011, 19:41:48 »

No... I can't do much now, I'm on my laptop now.

Does your motherboard have an onboard video chip? If so try booting using that

dexter7 · « **Reply #10 on:** December 31, 2011, 19:48:54 »

It's a Nvidia chip... $:-\$ Will that work?
Also, How do I start with an on board chip?

Ralphy · « **Reply #11 on:** December 31, 2011, 19:53:07 »

well just plug the moniter into the socket which is in the motherboard area of the case

most moniters just use the blue DVI socket

dexter7 · « **Reply #12 on:** December 31, 2011, 20:11:46 »

Well, My monitor is on but, it isn't recognizing the motherboard chip... Here's my monitor specs: http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/monitor/0000/Acer/X213/X213sp2.shtml

Ralphy · « **Reply #13 on:** December 31, 2011, 20:19:44 »

So you've got your moniter plugged into the motherboard slot but it's still not working?

dexter7 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 31, 2011, 20:22:54 »

Yes.

Ralphy · « **Reply #15 on:** December 31, 2011, 20:24:47 »

And you're not allowed to open the case?

dexter7 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 31, 2011, 20:26:15 »

No. I'll try to get special permission...

Ralphy · « **Reply #17 on:** December 31, 2011, 20:29:38 »

has it got a warrenty seal on it? If so it would probs be best to return it under warrenty

dexter7 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 31, 2011, 20:31:36 »

No, it's a custom built PC, Kind of like what Danny is doing...

Ralphy · « **Reply #19 on:** December 31, 2011, 20:38:05 »

well if you can get 'special' permission then if you take the graphics card out and then try to boot there shouldn't be any reason why it doesn't. If you do get in you can reset the clock to it's default and then put the card back in.
If it works after that then there's no lasting damage, if it doesn't then it's likely you've fried your GPU

dexter7 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 31, 2011, 20:43:53 »

Nope no permission.

You need to open the casing and look inside. Check if the cooling fan on top of the processor has not shifted or become loose. A displaced processor fan causes the computer to shut down soon after it boots.

dexter7 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 31, 2011, 22:22:48 »

Going to try firing up it again...

dexter7 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 31, 2011, 22:33:59 »

No luck with the integrated chip... Going to try the normal card.
I have looked inside the window on the side and it seems the CPU fan is in place.

dexter7 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 31, 2011, 22:42:58 »

Dang it, In other words, I give up.
But I keep getting this error that says
The display driver has stopped responding and recovered.
