Having a lil weird problem here.
A while ago I decided to move my computer, like 1 meter, so I unplugged everything, plugged back, turned on... monitor shows nothing. So I decided to take out the CMOS battery and put it back, worked. Now it asked if I want to run setup or load defaults, ran setup, loaded my OC profile, boot, same thing, nothing. Next time I chose load defaults, worked. Restarted to try out if I could load the OC profile in BIOS, but no, same thing at boot up.
The funny thing is that as I run setup, no matter what I do, put eveything to default or choose to load a profile, anything, same outcome.

So I can access windows, but can't change any settings in BIOS :S

Sidenote: Normally when changing something in BIOS, the comp boots once, now it does it twice.

Running Win 7 with E5200, GF9800GT, P5QL-Pro, Corsair TX650W, every component seems to run normally.

E: After failing to boot, restarting wont help, but unplugging power cord and plugging back does help.

Why would you do that? The CMOS battery shouldn't really effect the monitor not turning on. I assume you still head the HDD whirring and startup of the motherboard if you say the monitor showed nothing.

I used to have this problem when choosing sleep mode, same problem, only thing that helped was taking out the CMOS battery.

Anyways, I can access windows, but cannot restart. So I cannot change anything in BIOS either, because it restarts after changes.
I am also having some problems here for example when pressing esc while playing some cs, it crashes.

HDD working since I can access windows.

Guess you might be have to live without OC'ing.

I'd try the OC profile again, but at about half the OC you were using and see if that makes a difference.

I might try that tomorrow, it's just that I can't restart to access BIOS, so, shut down, unplug, plug back, boot, BIOS, change settings, comp restarts, same thing...

I just don't understand what could possibly be the reason for this...

Try re-flashing or updating the BIOS.
