Alright, I'll just cut to the chase.

I was overclocking my system last night. I have an AMD 2600+, Retail HSF, and a Aopen AK79D-400VN motherboard. While I was setting the FSB's I noticed my Mutliplier was unlocked. So I brought it down from 12.5 to 11.0, and brought my FSB up to 205.

Once I did that, and saved BIOS my machine shut down. Oh well, no biggy. I Opened up the case. Reset CMOS, and the comp started right back up.
Well since I restarted CMOS it was registering my 2600+ as a 2000+, so I went into BIOS and reset all my configs to read a 2600+.
When I clicked F10 to save. The little "Warning DO NOT SHUT OFF POWER" thing came on, and stayed there for a LONG LONG time. I didn't have anymore patience and just rebooted. Now when I try to turn on the PC it's a black screen.

Things that I've tried:
- Reseting CMOS again.
- Pulling out the CMOS battery.
- Holding 'Insert' key while rebooting.

None of them do anything.
Any suggestions?
 
Sounds like a borked BIOS to me. There are sites that sell replacement BIOS chips, and BIOS saviors that could help you out.
 
How hard would it be to actually replace your BIOS chip tho?
Souynds like a task and a half. Especially for noobs like me :-x
