I was fooling around with the computer, and read somewhere that the voltage for my ram would be better at 2.0 volts instead of 1.8, so I did. now system won't boot :S

bios starts up, kind of, but won't go past the first screen. If i press Tab for the message, it says that there was a system boot failiure and i should reset the settings by pressing delete. But at taht stage, if I press delete, nothing happens. If i press delete soon as i reach the first image screen so I can get into settings, then it starts to do it, but hten reaches a black screen and stays there. I just tried updating the bios through EZ flash, and that went off fine, but the problem is still there. I'm at kind of a loss right now :s any help would be greatly appreciated. Would resetting bios with removing the battery and ressting jumpers etc. help at all?

motherboard is P5N32 SLI Premium
and ram is 2gb Corsair C4 6400
processor is x6800
 
Just a small update. Reset CMOS and now it'l post at least. Let me access the bios settings menu and everything, but won't reach windows load. Loads bios, then that white dash starts flashing on the top left, and it just keeps flashing, not going anywhere.

edit - Could someone please delete this thread or close it or something? solved the problem. Somehow, the boot priority had got switched and it was trying to access windows on the HD where it wasnt :p switched taht around and its working now.
