HI, i have a e6600. i got the fsb to 320 with a multiplier of 9. i with a 1:2 ratio. i exited and saved changes. everything was fine. but i have ddr2 1000 ram and my ram was at like 642mhz and i thought that might be to high so i was going to restart and lower it. i restarted and my pc would not boot. what can i do to fix this? i have a asus p5b delux mobo.
 
open up your comp and take out the cmos battery located on the mobo for a couple of minutes to reset your bios. (refer to your motherboard manual if your unsure about how to do this)
 
ohhh man i fixed it lol, i just turned it off and let everything just cool off for like 10 minutes and now its fine. man that scared the hell out of me. waht do you guys think happend?
 
You just freaked it out, dont play with the settings till you learn how to reset/clear the bios.
 
Lol. Almost guarenteeing it's not a heat issue... Probably just a setting that the BIOS didn't like.

By letting it sit for 10 minutes, the BIOS loaded it's default settings, (as per the ASUS Spec) and disabled the overclock. I bet, if you watched carefully, it would have said, "OVERCLOCK FAILED:" or something like that, or (in a scary women's voice) yell at you over your speakers.
