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!

haha sounds like you fairly screwed it up. if i was in you situation i would try reseting the cmos, but then buy a new core 2 duo cos they are totally sweet AND fit in ur LGA775 socket. maybe if ur not willing to do that buy a custom cpu cooler? Zalman is a reliable brand, i would suggest the CNPS9500 if you dont move ur pc a lot, something smaller if you shift regularly

This means it is too much and won't POST.

You can try setting up a memory divider to run your memory at a reduced speed, as this will allow you some headroom to over clock the FSB higher. Try loosening your memory timings too. If that fails, up the CPU voltage by the smallest possible increment. And if that doesn't work, it's likely you are just done with over clocking that chip...as high as it gets.

If you can't enter the BIOS to change the settings, just reset CMOS and then re-do it.
