    Hi
    I have overclocked my Lenovo T61 laptop, by changing the fsb from 200 to 266. My Lenovo uses the intel GMA965 (X3100) Onboard graphics, so increasing the FSB has also overclocked it. Now I have run into a problem, where if I install the graphic drivers, I will get black screen as soon as I boot into windows. Can I fix this?
    Can I can overvolt the onboard graphics?
    Can I underclock the onboard graphics?

    How *exactly* did you do this? Pinmod of some kind?

    No and no.

    Well, unless you have ways and means of making that pinmod less permanent, it's time to start looking for a replacement board...

    You're pretty much up the creek.

    Find a way to un-overclock the parts, or time to find new parts.
