Help with system failure

[MTXR]

So last night i shut my machine down, everything was running good. I go to class this morning and when i get back i try and start the computer up, and it just hangs at the boot screen when its checking memory, i restart a few times, and all of a sudden i get a....

"System Failure due to CPU Overclocking" thru my headphones.

Are my processors dead?

I am running 2x 1.6ghz LV Xeons @ 3.0 @ 1.5V

on a PC-DL Deluxe. Do these cpus die all of a sudden? Quickly? I have only had the system up and running since april of this year.

Any help would be appreaciated. I tried to run it at stock speeds at 1.5V but i am still getting the same problem.. Did i fry these things?

Over the course of using the computer temperatures for each CPU never exceeded 120F under 100% load 24/7

Please help.

have you tried different ram? removing all but crucial elements of pc(including hdds) have you tried resetting the bios?

ok, i got it to run again. I guess it was a wierd mobo thing. I did everything i could, and it still didn't boot up.

Someone ran into the same problem and you have to unplug for 5 mins and clear the CMOS.

Its a very odd glitch....

thanks for helping.

unplugging the mobo and waiting is standard procedure for clearing the cmos...

oh. I usually just wait a little bit, not long.

I guess there is still some power in there somewhere if you don't wait long enough.
