So I restarted my PC, and then the screen went black, and now the monitor stays black. Now I have only gotten it to boot when I remove the CMOS battery and computer from wall, wait then put them both back in. Even then the screen goes black once I leave bios.

My Specs are:
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
AMD FX 6200
2 x 8 sticks of ram
GTX 650Ti
650 watt PSU
60GB SSD
1TB 2.5in HDD

Did you make sure your SSD is back to ACHI mode?

Try booting from Windows DVD?

Perhaps unplug hard drive and DVD and any peripherals. It would be good to see it ask for a boot device.

I have, anything I do, take out ram 1 stick at a time, unplug peripherals, anything, it will either say something like "overclocking failed" or just go to bios. But after I save and reset, it just is a black screen.

That "overclocking failed" seems to be just a bi-product of system not booting then being powered down.

In BIOS, is it detecting all your drives and everything?

Is the mother board still under warranty?
