Computer won't boot

mOdO · 21 Jun 2007 at 21:20

Hi
I began overclocking for the first time with my cpu (amd x2 3800) on stock and manage to get it to 2.2 nicely. I then went to 2.3 and now the computer will not boot up.

I havent got a clue what to do apart from clearing the cmos.

Any ideas to get to the bios?

Thanks.

Clear the bios by using either the jumper method or removal of battery (I find battery removal for 5 mins does the trick in extreme cases).

Is that the jumper on the hdd?

No mate, which motherboard have you got?

its a shuttle sn25p. ive located the battery, i will remove that instead.
By clearing the cmos, will that just set the bios to defult?

erm... don't forget to unplug the PSU other wise the 5V standby will power the bios (or at least it should do....). just pull the mains cord out the back of your PC....
