CPU dont start

[Schony125]

Hello guys, I just overclocked my pc I tried to push my fsb higher to get ram at the speed I wanted but the pc crashed as soon as the bios loaded the changes.

 

the cpu led lights up and I tried to push the mem OK button but cycled a bit but didnt start.

 

now I think I have to clear my cmos now? what are the draw backs of doing that? how do I do it? ( I think I have to take out the battery on the mobo and short the 2 pins?)

Hy guys why I have no help atm?

I am no pc expert but pushing the cmos clear doesnt have any drawback except losing all bios settings you made so far.

 

Check the manual of your mainboard if you arent sure. I believe it was removing the battery and pressing a button on the board (MSI z97)

I have a cmos switch gonna walk the dog then I will clear the cmos and se if it works but I want to try if asus cpr can fix the issue without having to re enter every thing in the bios.

 

today I was like should I save my overclocking profiles on a usb? I said: no who needs that

now I have to clear cmos
