What the hell did I do!?!? I was applying some changes in my BIOS using directions provided with my Mushkin PC133 Rev3 ram to speed up the ram, and i'm all done and I reboot my machine and nothing comes up on the screen anymore! No post, no video, no nothing....

So I figured, "Okay I overheat the chip" and let it cool down a few hours.... come back try to fire it back up and it still won't post and no video...

I checked the temprature of the chip before rebooting and it was at 39C / 102F .... is that too hot?! I was under the impression 39C was pretty good with the few of you having problems with your CPU touching 50C and such...

So did I fry my CPU or something? I don't see how that would be possible...

Here's what I'm using:

Thunderbird 1.1 ghz
Mushkin Rev3 PC133 128 stick
KT7-RAID Mobo
GeForce2 GTS 32MB

Do I have to reset the BIOS or something using a jumper on the motherboard!? I couldn't find anything in the motherboard's manual about this...

any ideas or help would be greatly appreciate... I hope I didn't shove $230+ US dollars down the drain...

come down dude. You didnt fry anything. You did just set your memory settings to agressive in Bios.

Start your machine holding down the 'insert' key. That way you get into Bios at default settings. If that dosnt work there is a jumper on the KT7 mobo to clear cmos. READ YOUR MANUAL. 8)

I tried the Insert key thing and it didn't work... I held the Insert key down while powering up and same thing... I also hit the Insert multiple times repeatedly during powering it on.... also didn't make a difference...

I can't seem to find the section on the jumper that will reset the CMOS... can you give me a lead on where it is? Thanks.

Dude, do this. Turn on yer puter wait 5 seconds pull the plug. Then do it two more times so a total of three times you hit the power button and then pull the plug, on the fourth time everything should be fine

The jumper should be beside a lithium battery on your motherboard plug the jumper into the flush bios then replug into original
