I am using a Pentium G3258. I was happily overclocking at 4.2Ghz without issue and decided to try and up it to 4.4Ghz to see how much voltage I might need. System crashed without entering windows (understandably).
However the system freezes when I try and enter BIOS to revert to defaults and when I let it boot it remains stuck in an endless automatic repair cycle.
Have I completely screwed myself or is there something I can do to get the settings back to optimised defaults?
**I will add that sometimes I am able to get on to BIOS at different stages but it will always freeze before I can do anything.
***I will also add that windows does occasionally give me various options of repair/rebooting (none of which work). This does give me hope at least that the CPU is not completely knackered.
Thanks-
