Okay guys, I'm a complete failure at overclocking. I've never done it, nor was I qualified to attempt this on someone's computer.
My boyfriend recently purchased a computer, specs: Bloom i7 930; gigabyte x58a-ud3r. I decided I would try to overclock while he's away since I had nothing else to do. He knows relatively little about overclocking, so I thought this would be an unexpected treat. So basically, I just copied someone's BIOS with similar settings and went with a restart (felt generous only pushing for 3.8).
Now, the computer just repeatedly restarts very quickly. This is before the comp can even begin a boot process, how do I get back to BIOS, but from a USB, or anything?
Did I just completely bung-hole his computer?
