Well first of all, this is a great site. I have learned quite a bit the last couple of days of reading so I thought I would try to overclock my brand new E6600. I read that you should set the cpu frequency up a little at a time until you start crashing or locking up THEN move your voltage up a notch. So I got my 2.4 up to 2.66 without having to touch the voltage and everything was fine...then I got greedy. I slowly set it higher and higher without upping the voltage until I got to 2.8 and then the "lock-up" happened. It froze on the black screen after you save and exit bios before the OS starts up. No big deal I thought, I will just reset and go back to bios and up the voltage a notch like Ive read over and over. But to my surprise, I cant even get to bios now. I reset, everything is on and running but my monitor. I tried over and over but nothing. My mobo has power, my fans spin but my monitor just turns off to stand-by. My setup is an E6600 cpu, a D975XBX2 (Bad Axe 2) mobo, and 2 gig of 800 FSB CorsairDDR2 memory. Can anyone help or am I screwed?
