So I decided, innocently enough, to overclock my Pentium D 805 2.66Ghz to 3.5Ghz. Doing it the smart way, I slowly increased the the clock. So I finally cahnged it to 3.5Ghz, saved it in the CMOS, and rebooted. It boots, but it gets stuck at the Screen that has my mobo's logo and the message saying "press Del to enter the BIOS", etc. No beep codes, nothin.
So I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with cooling (the comp boots).
Should I
a) clear the CMOS with the jumper
b) buy a new processor (I was going to get one anyway)
c) something else

PLEASE HELP ME!

You almost overclocked a gig over stock clocks?

I'm surprised it didn't simply blow up....

Did you increase the voltage along the way?

I would reset the CMOS with the jumper and would recommend not to overclock so much.

Never mind, I cleared the CMOS and it worked. After that incident I think I'm gonna keep it a 3GHz.
Thanks for the help.
BTW- I'm going to get an E6400 in a couple of days anyway.
