Alright,
It started when i was overclocking my Intel Pentium III 500MHz. I overclocked the MHz throught the bios to 566MHz, reboot worked fine. Uped it again, rebooted, and my fans ran but blank screen. Did i fry my CPU? Somthing i can do? :mad:

Calm down, turn the computer off and unplug it, open the case, take the CMOS battery outr for half an hour and then put it back in. Then pit the PC back together and reboot. You'll be fine.

I'll second that....you probably made it too high...lol...all you do is remove the battery for about 1 hour and that should reset it...no harm done....this is a common problem in the life of a OCer :D

an hour? wow thats a long time. i was thinkin more like...i dunno, 5 minutes. thats what i usually do. i guess dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks *shrug*

Why removing the battery ? There is a "Clear CMOS" jumper on most (if not all) desktop motherboards.
Correct me if I left something out.

If your board has a Clear CMOS jumper, switch it from normal to clear and leave it there for about 10 seconds, then switch it back again.

The nice thing with this is that you don't have to wait as long, and on some boards you don't even have to set the time again. :cool:
