well I was overclocking my old pentium 4 2.6 Ghz
Socket 478 Biostar Motherboard U8598 ver 3.0
I had increased the bus from 133 to 150 and was getting 3.0 Ghz working stable
So I decided to go further and increase to 160

Powered up, got an initial boot, then a pop, and then nothing

I keep resetting, no screen. THe computer powers up but I get nothing on the monitor, and it doesnt even sound like it is booting.

What could I have fried? the motherboard? the video card? the cpu?

If the cpu was fried I should at least be able to get into the bios correct?

here is a link to the MB manual if you care to look at it.

Probably not, your computer is likely trying to power-up at a very unstable overclock and immediately shutting down. I should try clearing your CMOS.
