Turn the power off on the PSU, wait 15-30 seconds. Then try and restart the comp.

Yep, clear the bios.
I have that board, give me a sec and I will post a pic of the jumper you need to short.
Edit: here is the pic.
Look up under the video card, you should see a battery. Just to the left of the battery is the jumper. Take a flat head screwdriver or other small piece of metal and touch the jumper with it(both pins at once).
After doing this, I suggest going into the bios and put you manual settings back in. If all is good at that point, then we will talk about overclocking the ram a bit.

Edit: Did the jumper thing, wasn't sure at first whether it was intended to be done with computer powered on or off, but I tried it while it was all powered down because doing it while on seemed potentially idiotic.
Loaded up quick, now have access to my BIOS. Any assistance with proper settings to get my RAM running at its advertised speeds, very much appreciated.

No need for that, edited it up - got it back after resetting the BIOS and am now staring at them. Now I just need to figure out the proper voltage/speed/timings to get it running full speed.
Right now it's all running at basic default - 800Mhz, EPP disabled, Auto Voltage. And not sure where to go from here.

Yes, doing it while the power is off is the right way. FYI, doing it with the power on will do noting, it won't hurt anything, it just won't reset the bios in that case.
Now, you want to change the ram settings to manual. Set the first four timings per the sticker on your ram(I'm assuming this is your ram?) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231194 If that's the case then it's 5-5-5-15. As for the rest of the settings, manually set them to the "Auto" setting that's stated in the bios, not the "SPD" setting. This should get it to work at the standard 1066 rating, assuming nothing else is overclocked yet. Once this is successfully completed, then you can attempt overclocking. Also, I see that's a low voltage kit(1.8V - 1.9V) so there is no need to mess with voltages, yet.
I will post a pic of my ram settings shortly, BRB.

Nice, glad you got it working. Upping the "CPU Frequency"(see the top-most setting in the pic below) will up that ram frequency - Note: beware, it will also bump the frequency of everything else on the board, CPU, NB, HT, ect... This is where the playing around and "massaging" of all the settings comes into play. There are some good guides around here, take a look around - here is one to get you started - http://www.overclock.net/amd-general...ing-guide.html
In the mean time, bump that 200 to 201 and look at what happens to the frequencies in the bios, it should give you an idea.
