I have a following system

AMD 2100+ (TB-R) with SK-7 & Tt Smart Fan II
512 Mb pc3200 (Samsung)
GA-VAXP rev. 1.2
80 HDD
etc..

In order to overclocking my system, yesterday, I connected
2 soldered spots next to SW1 (to get over 166fsb). After
that my computer can't be booted. So, i disconnected the crossing line with a pin. it looked very sucessful (no damages on MB), but results was the same (my computer can't be booted).
What did i wrong?

I am still confused after reading lots of articles over net.
do i have to modify something on cpu to achieve 166fsb+, or
to use wire trick stuff, or to connecting 2 soldered spots next SW1?
Which one is better for newbie?

please, help. I need the system back for rest of my work soon.

Thanks in advance
 
Clear the CMOS and see if that helps.

Also make sure you connected the right dots and you have SW1 to Off, you will see the dots to join

When trying to get the 166FSB you will also have to drop the multi, try at 10.5x at first then bump it up after that.
