I fucked up.

I was messing around with a new test rig with specs :
Intel 3.0E 800Mhz FSB
Abit IC7-G MAX2
512MB OCZ PC3700 (2X256)
Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB

Well, I OC'd the cpu to 3.15Ghz no problem stable on stock air. I got a little cocky and went for 3.3Ghz. I started 3DMark2003 SE and went outside for a smoke. When I got back inside, the comp was off and now doesn't boot. What's odd is the LED in the bottom right corner now doesn't turn on when power is connected to the mobo, which leads me to believe either the power supply (generic) or mobo went out. I already tried clearing the cmos as well, still no power. Help please!

Thanks in advance :)

Well, if the mobo isn't getting power and it wont turn on, either there's a power outage or your PSU's dead. Generic PSUs are crap.
 
WHY do people use generic PSUs with expensive hardware? *sigh*
 
I normally dont pay much attention to the PSU, most like prolly 70-80% of the rest of the people but when I build my new computer I am surely gonna make sure its a good one.
 
It was just a temporary setup :( I got a thermaltake 420W/t in the mail.
