Hello there,
I power on my PC and it freezes at the asrock start up screen. How I got to this was, I was playing BF4, the game crashed, brought me to the desktop and my mouse was lagging then it froze. So I reset the PC and now I'm here... I already tried to rest the CMOS by taking out the battery, and I took out GPU 0.
My PC specs:
ASrock 970 Ext3 R2.0
FX 8320 @4.5GHz with Be Quiet Shadow Rock 2
XFX AMD 7950 CF
XFX Pro 650W
6GB DDR3 1333MHZ 3 dimms
1.5TB WD Green
DVD writer

Thanks for any help... I'm worried I melted my PC...

You might be looking more at a USB device plugged in, like a thumb drive or an external drive. Try taking out all USB devices and only having your monitor plugged in, see if you get past POST at that point.

You are a life save man! Thanks so much! Also do you know why this happened in the first place? Should I not OC my CPU??

It wouldn't be an OC. It happens sometimes with certain USB devices plugged in. Sometimes I have to unplug a thumb drive or my 360 controller to get my PC to get past BIOS. Glad to help!
