i just broke my computer....how do i fix it???

[trOver]

so i tried overclocking my pc a little too much. not really too much, just not enough resources for the cpu. I didnt give it enough voltage, so now it wont post. I think i need to clear my bios?

my problem is, my mobo (p5w-dh deluxe) doenst have a bios jumper on it!

i took the battery out for 20 min, and put it back in, and its doing the same thing.

What else could i try? i really need to get it up and running again soon!

thanks for the replies in advance!

I would refer to your P5W-DH manual and find out how to reset the CMOS. Every motherboard I've encountered within the last 8 years I've been building PCs has a way to clear the CMOS.

read the manual, some m/b have a keyboard key you can hold down during boot to clear bios

thanks- but thats the wrong mobo....
i looked on mine to see if it was similar, but there are no jumpers there.

Is that it, in the lower right corner, near that orange piece?

or the one a little further up from that, closer to the sata connector

i thought that was it aswell but that actually for a clear ram type thing (not associated w/ the bios)
EDIT: woops i looked in the manual and that was for clearing the bios! but i already tried that???? what is wrong with my computer!??!!?!?!

Have you called ASUS?

thanks for all your help though!
