Hi! I think I pushed an OC a little far, so when I saved my settings in the BIOS and rebooted, it wouldn't POST. Then, I tried clearing the CMOS. I have probably done so about 15 times. I tried switching the ram out. I don't have a system speaker, though, as mine broke. Is there anything like an LED that I can use as an alternative to the speaker? If you know of anything that may possibly help me, I would really appreciate it. I really need to finish a school project by monday. Thanks!
 
There is the possibility that you somehow corrupted your BIOS. If all else fails, try flashing your BIOS with the correct version from DFI.
 
Uhh... I can't really flash my BIOS if the system won't post. Thanks, anyway, though. :(
 
I also think you might have corrupted your bios. You might have to buy a bios chip for your motherboard from DFI:(. You might be able to get a replacement from here also. That's what happens sometimes if you push your OC too far. It's a good idea to have something like a BIOS Savior around when you're overclocking.
