Basically as Title. Been playing skyrim on 1600x1200 on medium settings. Wanted to see what it was like at 1900x1200 full maxxed on Ultra. Loaded up but it just froze in the loading screen.

I rebooted but now it wont do anything....pc is powering on and working yet it dosent seem to boot....Any ideas?

What's your rig spec including psu?

First thing to do at this point is clear cmos and try to boot again.

ok 1sec. Im on a e6600, asus p5b. Clearing the Cmos...ok. Is that by moving the pins on the mobo?. Been a long time since i did this stuff

On some boards yes if you don't have a spare jumper just use something to short the pins. Also removing the battery from the board can reset some.

Yea this basically. If you remove the battery unplug the power cable from the back of the psu and hold down the power button on your case, the idea being to drain all power from the system. Then put the battery back in, plug power cable back in and start up as normal.
