Overclocked too far - computer will not boot

Overclocked too far - computer will not boot

I recently tried overclocking my desktop and I went a bit too far. The machine no longer gets to the screen that allows me to enter the bios. I tried switching the CPU but this did not work, it still will not let me get to the bios. Is there any way to fix this?

"You can reset your BIOS settings to default a few ways:

Remove the CMOS battery temporarily then place it back in
Use the CMOS jumpers
A method also available on most new computers is to hold down the reset button itself.

These methods are explained in more detail here.

There is also the possibility your motherboard is toast, but try the above methods before losing all hope and wasting money."
