Alladin Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Did you tried to reset your bios first? What hardware did you overclock gpu or cpu , both? ssd and ram should not be fried and replaced. check your Motherboard cpu and gpu only one of them could be broken... Give more info please about what you are overclocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P1ayerOne Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 the cpu is really old so i bought a 940xm for it. also a new motherboard for it. new ram (16gb) i overclocked the gpu too much i think, not cpu. but the on button wont even respond anymore. going to get a 970m from woodstacks soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alladin Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) I think your Motherboard is gone, take out the gpu and look if it boots. Maybe you better bought a new laptop instead, how much did all these parts costs? Edited September 30, 2017 by Alladin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discovision Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I'd just go eBay for a 970m, I just sold mine last week....I upgraded to 980m. The 10-15% improvement was too much to resist, and it was only $50 more than what I sold my 970m for . Either way, 970m is a great card for the M15x and OC's like crazy too. The 980m I had to make a dual psu (240w x 2), as any attempt to OC would trip my single psu. Edited October 5, 2017 by discovision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
