Hi guys,

Earlier I did the mistake of attempting an uneducated Phenom 940 overclock on the BIOS of an ASRock K10N78F, I only edited a few values just to get a boost of speed, but since I hardly had a clue what I was doing I've messed up big time.

After the OC attempt the PC would turn on, and nothing would come up on the screen, I did some google searches and tried a CMOS reset (by moving the jumper cap from 1&2 to 2&3 for a couple of minutes and then replacing), after this I tried to turn my PC back on, again black screen, but I got 2 very fast beeps, whereas last time I was getting none.

I am just clueless as to where to go next, I really hope I haven't fried anything, I only adjusted the voltages a tiny bit.

Cheers :(

Try popping the motherboard battery out for a couple mins and placing it back in.
