Hi people got a big problem here. I have a soltek SL-75FRN2-L Nforce ultra 400 motherboard and AMD 2700+ I only put it all together last week with xp havnt realy overclocked alot it has a 166 Mhz fsb multiply by 2 so i put it up to 185 Mhz and got 2.4 gig out of it. The only problem is that after i switched it off it wont boot up now. I tried both methods for resetting the cmos but still wont boot up what do i do? STUCK

ok well i have corsair ddr 400 ram just the one 512 stick. AMD 2700+ 330 Mhz FSB . I pulled the cpu out and had a look at it and it dosnt look like it has any damage. I Cannot get it to boot up. In other words i turn it on and there is no screen no bios and I have tried resetting the cmos but wont work did i fry my cpu by overclocking it? Would that stop the bios from working?

There could be a couple possibilites:

1) You fried your Motherboard.
2) You fried your Power Supply.

But we need more information. We need a Power Supply and Motherboard information.
