Just pull the battery out to set BIOS settings back to default, whatever settings you used likely caused it not to post but it should be fine.

Pull it out turn the PSU switch off press the power button to discharge any remaining electricity and put the battery back in after 10 minutes and turn it back on

Pro tip after you get it fixed - don't touch hardware. Just put it in, and enjoy it.

And before you try your hand at OC again, read a guide or two, or ask us for help ;) The free performance you cán get is pretty meaningless really, its mostly about having fun doing it these days. Especially if you're doing a mild OC on mainstream stuff like you are. So keep it fun :)

According to its manual this board has also a clear cmos jumper to set BIOS settings to default, so why not trying this first, before disassembling the battery?

Maybe there are any, don't know, but why advising to pull out the battery first, when there is that jumper?

Manuals typically just specify to pull/short the jumper but gotta read the manual which seems to not be common here...

What's the issue, its the same either way but maybe I suggested that as that's what I always do myself, force of habit if you like and it's easier to pull it out in my case as it's more accessible but like I said it matters not which one you do anyway and its not like pulling the battery out requires any more or less effort I don't know why it irks you so... :oops:

My motherboard sometimes wont clear cmos when I have messed an OC up even when I have removed the battery, cycled the power and put it back, take it out and leave it out for 10 mins with the PSU unplugged/switched off and try again, unless you done something like put 2v+ through the CPU it shouldn't have caused any real damage to the components just by oc'ing in the bios but it could be that cmos hasn't been cleared as mentioned does happen from time to time on my board.

It sounds to me like the igp overclock is what borked you. Granted I skimmed the thread and loaded with prescriptions right now, but I think you just have no video.
