I never thought it would happen to me but suspect bios death. I have 2 cpus that were working yesterday and all of today until I decided to change my OC settings. I was running 200 * 12 . I changed that to 205 * 12.5 and it didn't boot, which was normal. I turned off the power then unplugged. Waited a few minutes then replugged and turned on. Got some error about memory not passing the test. I turned off and reseated the ram then turned it back on. I got nothing. So I tried resetting CMOS etc and still, nothing. I took out the CPU and got the "no cpu detected" message, so I figured I hurt the CPU some how. I put in my old duron 1ghz and got the same results as I did with the previous processor (no video output, no sounds). Is it possible that both CPU's mysteriously died? Or that the bios died?
Thanks

I'm running corsair twinX 3200 LL , a7n8x deluxe 2.0...
 
I went out and bought a plcc remover. This friday my friend has agreed to let me use his a7n8x deluxe to flash my chip.
 
It sounds like your BIOS, a known problem, good that you have a friend so you can hot-flash your eeprom.

It sounds like it isn't completely messed up though, giving you at least memory and cpu errors, so it is trying to boot. normally when the bios get shot, absolutely nothing happends beside power going through and the leds light up but that's it
