MSI Neo 2 dead?

I've been running my MSI Neo2 with a P4 2.8 400 FSB cpu at "normal"
14 x 200 FSB settings. Geil PC3200 Golden Dragon 2 x 512 .
I recently added a hydrocool 200 system and decided it was time
to play with the multi / FSB speed. Setting up the FSB slowly using
the same multi wouldn't get me passed about 210 mhz. I think
208 was stable. I run Seti@home 24/7.

I decided to lower the multi to try to get the FSB higher, and I slacked
off the memory timings a bit (have the exact #'s at home not with me).
I think I tried something like 12 x 248 or something radical like this,
figuring lowing the multi so far would (possibly) buy me more FSB
slack.

Wrong. Board won't POST at all now, even though I've cleared
the CMOS with power off by moving the jumper (many times).
I even pulled the batterey for the CMOS and shorted the jumper
since I was trying everything I could think of.

No POST at all. Did I kill my board with the crazy 12 x 248 I tried?

TIA,

Shorting the jumper without the battery in will do nothing - the battery must be in to supply current to pass through the jumper and across the pins, thus resetting CMOS.

Here is a sure fire way to reset your CMOS, try this and if you still have problems then report back:

Thanks for that, IMOG. I put in an Asus P4P800 in that box. I don't
have another P4 to test the Neo with right now. I'll let you know when
I test if that fixes everything. The cpu is fine, it's running this box I'm on now. I should have done some more reading or asked in the forums before I pulled the Neo out.
