Please please HELP !!!!!

Major problem with PC...please help am devastated.

Setup:

Asus P5N32-E SLI
2 GB GeIL ultra low latency 800Mhz RAM
E6600
BFG geforce 8800GTX
2 hard drives in RAID 0

Decided (stupidly I know) to use the AI booster tools in windows to overclock I altered the speed bit from 266 to 280 - ie from 2,394 Ghz to 2,520 Ghz - fine no probs - Oblivion ran noticeably smoother! Easy I thought - put it up to 286 x 9 and the PC crashed out. Could even enter the BIOS. So cleared CMOS and managed to get into BIOS and put my settings back. Turn on again and it posts then shows the correct RAID array then the following is on the screen:

NTLDR missing
Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart

Then press any key to boot from CD.....
(which is fine and can enter the windows setup if necessary)

Then if I don't press a key

Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart
and the system hangs with no command prompt.


What's going on? what is NTLDR ? Why has it gone? How do I get it back? I have all my saved games on the hard drive and really don't want to lose them!

Please please please help..............

Thank you

Nic

yeah.

Can I simply reinstall windows and job done - my saved games will still be there?

Or am I ****** ?!

 

[Nic Miller]

only a RAID array.

Am really depressed if I can't get this to sort itself without reformatting the HDD.

Has put me off overclocking now. Is this a common prob or is it caused by doing the overclocking in windows?

grrrrrr......

Thanks for suggestions though !
