I am using an asus p5ne-sli motherboard with a q6600. I have got a scyth infiniti cooler on it, and I managed to overclock the board to 300mhz cpu 9x multiplier without any problems, had it running a week or so and it seemed fine, max temps aroun 69 degrees after half an hour of prime. I was running at 1.4v to core and 2.01 v to 2x 1gb sticks of crucial ballistix 8500. The ballistix is running at 4-4-4-12 which is under the recommended 5-5-5-15, could that also be a problem?
I thought i would try a little more and go for the 333.3 mhz push so I turned up the v core to 1.45v and left the voltage to ram the same however now whenever i switch on i get the post "beep" noise but then it hangs on the p5ne-sli startup screen and goes no further.
How do i reset my bios back to original / get it working again as at the moment it wont boot into windows. Is this something to do with CMOS? could someone give me a quick explanation of what cmos is.
Thanks
