Got a new 2100+ processor from AMD for taking part in a online doings- installed it in my Gigabyte GA-7DX board.
Everything boots fine, no problem. Decided to try clocking it a bit- 139 fsb np- 143 np-147 was too far though. OK so I'll reset the bios. After the Bios reset, still no post. removed the battery for a couple of hours- still no post.
CPU is OK, Memory is OK, Video card is OK. All lights light up, fans are spinning, etc- monitor displays a "no signal" message
Think I fried the Bios?

Never heard of overclocking frying a BIOS, you could've fried something on the board though. Did you unplug the power before you reset the CMOS jumper/pulled the battery? Tried a different power supply? Did you try a different stick of RAM?

No, I hadn't unplugged the PS- will try that now
Yes, I've tried a different PS, memory, (and CPU)- all are "known good"

Fixed- unplugging the PS, pulling the Battery, and clearing the Bios did the trick.
Thanks a ton!
