Hello all,

I attempted to OC my Intel I5 3570k this evening to 4.5Ghz. After saving and rebooting I am getting a Windows Error telling me to Launch Startup Repair. When doing this I am taken to the blue screen where it tells me a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

When I reboot and attempt to access my BIOS (I'm using a Gigabyte Z77-DS3H) it will either totally lock up when I hit my BIOS key, or it allows me to access the BIOS, and then abruptly "locks up" on me.

Please help!

Never mind got it sorted out.

For future reference for anyone experiencing similar issues, I was able to resolve this problem by unplugging my USB mouse and keyboard and inserting a PS/2 keyboard only. After this, I was then able to access my BIOS again and reset my OC values to their default settings so I could reassess what I was doing. I believe I made an error when messing with my voltages.
