Reset CMOS and you should be good to go.

how?????

Unplug the computer from the back of PSU and either remove the CMOS battery (there's only one battery on the mobo) and wait a few secs or push in the power button to drain power.

I think that'll work.

Heh, you really should have taken your time to read up a little on overclocking.
To reset the CMOS (which clears and resets the BIOS to factory defaults), you need to remove the CMOS battery, switch the CMOS jumper and leave it for 1 minute, then put the jumper back to the original pin configuration and put the battery back in. Make sure you take note of the polarity of the battery so you don't put it in upside down (the shiny + side sits facing out at you). Consult the user manual for your motherboard to locate the CMOS battery and jumper. It should all be located on the bottom half of your motherboard to the right of the PCI slots.

That is not the correct way to reset the CMOS. While only removing the battery for a brief period of time may work, it will not always work.

Heh. Works for the Dell!

what a miracle it work.... i love you guys... hehehehe... i'll stay it at 2.88ghz with stability untill i figure out what setting would be able to get it beyond 3.0ghz with stability... i saw some other OC its beyod 3.6ghz... thanks a lot... now back to tweaking it again...

Yeah, I was talking a friend through resetting the CMOS over the phone but they couldn't find the jumper. So I just had them pull the battery, wait 30 seconds and put it back in and the computer fired right up :roll:
So that method does work, it's just not the full blown, "official" method to resetting CMOS. More just like the quick and dirty way.

No, not at all man. You just got a bunch of awesome new hardware. Any one of us would be going bananas over that stuff too!
