Overclock Problem... Help!
I'm not a very experienced PC user, so I don't know the ins and outs of overclocking at all really.
Anyway, recently, upon starting up my PC, I got some sort of message which quickly popped up saying something about the start-up failing and something to do with over clocking going wrong. It seemed to start as normal but there's now a constant squealing noise coming from somewhere in the rig. On top of that, when I ran cinebench, I got a score of 4.7 down from 6.06 which I had previously.
I checked the core speed with CPU-Z and it read as 2.7Ghz, rather than 3.5Ghz. Now I might be wrong but that speed is now actually lower than the baseline model, which I think is 3.05Ghz...
I have no idea where to start with this problem so any help would be really appreciated.
Some more info: I brought the PC and it was 'safe and secure' overclocked by the company I bought it from.
