At first I want to say I do not have a lot of experience in overclocking.
Today I OC-ed my CPU to 4.5GHz, fully stable..But I was curious and you know.. I got it to 5GHz
I am using a seidon 240m cooling kit.. After the OC to 5GHz I saved the bios and restarted the PC
Now nothing shows up on the monitor, no beeping sound from motherboard, only the fans are blowing and the graphics/motherboard lights are working...
GA-990XA-UD3 rev 1.1
AMD FX-8350
I took out the motherboard battery, but that didnt work too.. I tried to find the jumper but there was nothing attached to it..
What seems to be the problem here? Is it the CPU?

5Ghz is still below maximum allowed speed for fx series..many folks run their fx8350 at that speed flawlessly.
but the problem is "3" mark of your motherboard. this one is the lowest class of gigabyte product..
and ud3 vrm is not too strong enough to handle the current at that clock..

how to make it sure ?
well, you have test your cpu at other motherboard..maybe your friend's computer..
if it's run, then your motherboard is the problem..
if it's not run, then your cpu is fail..

have you tried to reset your bios..? hard reset, with your motherboard jumper..
btw, what is your psu brand..?

how much did you give for core voltage?
Did you check the temperature of your processor and vrm ?

well, i think this is motherboard problem, not your processor..
5Ghz is still below maximum allowed speed for fx series..many folks run at that speed flawlessly.
but ud3 class vrm is not too strong to handle the current at that clock..

try to reset your bios..

if it's still not work, well..if your motherboard still covered by warranty, rma your motherboard..
if it's not, well, time to look a new motherboard..

err how can I be sure it's the motherboard? I mean I checked the CPU like 2-3 times to make sure all the pins are there and they are all alright, and they were.. And there is no dmg on the CPU or anything similar.. So are you sure its not the CPU?
