Issue:

Well while runing Ntune5, I set it to the 3hr auto-mode to tune it up. Several times it restarted. Normal. Picked where it left off and continued the process. Well about 30min left in the tune up, it restarted. But this time, no video. Hit the restart button, nothing. Not even the BIOS screen?? I felt the GPU's they are warm, but not so hot cant touch them. Tried another monitor, nothing. Nothing out of either port. Not sure if its the MoBo or the GPU. I read in the MoBo manual there is a feature that, when system crashes due to OC'n, the BIOS automatically resets to default settings. Thats fine, but why is there no video? LEads me to think a GPU problem.....

No idea how to set everything back to Default... and get Video back up... thanks!

lol ntune sucks for anything more then a quick manual change of something.
Just flash the BIOS(or as some call, the CMOS), if you don't know how, refer to your mainboard's manual for the most fool-proof method.
AND STOP RUNNING NTUNE's AUTO OVERCLOCK FEATURE!!!!
Welcome to the forums... and beware. :sn:

read the stickies on overclocking, its all about knowledge
then try to overclock, if you mess something up, just reset CMOS and go again
