I resently bought a i5 4690k so today i decided to do some overclocking.Everything was going smooth,ii experimented with different frequencies and voltages until i reached 4.4hz with 1.215v .At fisrt i got a BSOD for which i thought my voltage was not high enough.The problem came when i restarted my pc and when i try to access BIOS, i am stuck with a black screen and the only feature i can use is the ''system information''.Any suggestions are welcome.

Yes your clock speed got too high with too low voltage, which is fine, and a part of overclocking. If your motherboard has a reset jumper, usually next to the bios battery on the board, pull that off shift it over to the other exposed lead, leave it for about 10 seconds, then put it back to how it was. If you do not have a jumper, or what i said doesnt make sense(i kinda worded it badly) then just remove the battery on the board and leave it out for about 5 min. Place it back in after that and it should boot, but your overclock setting will be back to default. Then put the core clock speed back up to 4.4 ghz, and bump the voltage up to around 1.25. Then restart and if it is working great, if it is not put the voltage up slightly more...
