My System won't POST

[nicoritschel]

Hi! I think I pushed an OC a little far, so when I saved my settings in the BIOS and rebooted, it wouldn't POST. Then, I tried clearing the CMOS. I have probably done so about 15 times. I tried switching the ram out. I don't have a system speaker, though, as mine broke. Is there anything like an LED that I can use as an alternative to the speaker? Thanks!

Does anyone know what could allow me to use my system? I really need it for a school project. Thanks!

The only thing I can offer is that you need to hunt down a speaker so you can hear the beep codes and figure out what fried.

Unplug from wall.
Move clear CMOS jumper over.
Remove battery.
Leave for five minutes.
Replace battery.
Move CMOS jumper back.
Plug back into wall.
Pray very [H]ard.
Switch back on.

Luck ...........

I've done all that except remove battery. I have to try that later tonight. Thanks for the reminder!

Just to state the obvious here, if you have a system critical situation, don't experiment.

And like already stated physically remove the CMOS battery.

Yeah...I totaly forgot about the school project. I was really pumped up that I finally had PC3200. I wanted to see how far I could push it. I tried removing the CMOS battery with no success. I've also tried swapping out ram and video cards. I've also taken the whole system apart, except for removing the CPU. I wonder if I killed my CPU... I'm gonna go check if there's anything physically wrong with the CPU. Thanks for the responses so far. I really hope I can get my system working...or else I'm screwed.
