Bootblock is another term for Boot Sector on a hard disk.

Maybe when you were overclocking, it went unstable. Try resetting CMOS, yet?

Hmmm ok.

Anyways, FYI to those in future that find this thread. Best way to fix this is to insert your Motherboard CD, and boot up comp, it will then auto load original bios back on
