I was messing with some BLCK settings in my bios (from R0aches bios guide) and I changed a setting that uses my BLCK + ratio tuning for the overclock. Anyways, whenever I turn on my computer, it opens a screen with "Overclocking failed. Please enter setup to re-configure your system. Press f1 to run setup." But whenever I press f1, it starts windows normally and doesn't take me to bios to change the setting back. So basically I am locked out of bios. Pls help.

Power down, disconnect boot drive, and power back up. It should take you to BIOS. If not, you might have to remove the backup battery and/or change a reset jumper. Check the motherboard manual. You should be able to get one from the manufacturer's web site.

BTW, you should have posted the system info in your post.

Disconnect PSU and then remove coin battery from mainboard to reset CMOS. That should get everything back to default so you can try again.
