I had a terrible bottleneck by my cpu. All my friends were like "overclock it, it cant go wrong" and boy did it go wrong. I went to the bios and cranked it up from 2.4ghz to 2.8 and i use amd 7540 or smthing like that (dual core). And right when i clicked save and exit, pc shut down. Cqnt get it to boot anything since then. Ive tried removing the battery and the jumper, doesnt work. I have most likely fried something, but what?
I did a terrible thing

First things first. Unplug your power suppy.
Next, move the CLR CMOS jumper from position 1-2 to 2-3.
Next, move CLR CMOS jumper from position 2-3 to 1-2.
Now try powering up your rig.
If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll try second trick.

OK now just so you know this is a last resork kind of thing that no one will ever recommend, but I've had it work a few times on ASRock and ASUS boards that had troube clearing. What I'm saying is, this is at your own risk. But since your board already doesn't work, that makes little risk then right?
Place the IC on a shiney penny so that the leads are metal to metal.
Wait a few minutes, and stick it back in - hopefully you remember which way (it will get incredibly burning hot if it goes in backwards)

Ok contact ASRock and see if they can send you another BIOS ROM IC. Yours is corropted somehow. They might charge you a few bucks. There is really nothing else you can do. Or just get a new mobo, because well...that one does suck pretty bad.

I remember something similar happening to me a few years ago with Asrock overclocking. I think I just used the jumper, but it could also be your Ram. From what I remember all those years ago, I had to underclock the ram before I boosted the FSB up, or did you use a multiplier?
Worth a shot. Try taking all components out and detach all power cables from mobo. Keep battery in, and try jumpers again.

Yeah it is the RAM, but his CMOS is being stubborn and won't clear to get it back to default settings. Could give it another try with the battery out, unplugged, and jumper in the clear position and let it sit for 24 hours and hopefully if the capacitors are drained all the way it will clear. Otherwise get a new BIOS chip from ASRock.
