So, followed some advice from on here and started to try my first overclock and it's not gone too well. Now when I turn my PC on my monitor switches itself to the digital input (so clearly recognises a signal) but doesn't display anything.
Anyone have any advice on what I may have done and can do now?

Settings altered from stock:
Memory Voltage - Auto > 2.2V
CPU Core Voltage - Auto > 1.325V
Multiplier - 9 > 8
FSB - 266.6 > 350 MHz

Pretty worried now.
Cheers

You need to reset the CMOS - should be documented in the motherboard manual (usually by temporary swapping a jumper over). On some boards it will auto reset after 3 failed boot attempts or if you boot holding down the ctrl key.

That doesn't seem to work, tried booting while holding the ctrl key to no avail. Haven't got the mobo manual with me unfortunately.
 
333MHz FSB is the max you will get a Q6600 stable on that board ever btw (so use 9x multi). Unless you vmod the board as it can't supply enough amperage to the CPU past that unless you have a really really good Q6600 and partly due to some bas FSB holes.

Thanks for your help, was having a little panic there.
Didn't realise I'd get no more than 333MHz with my mobo, I'd been advised to stick my Multiplier to 8 yesterday. :rolleyes:
