OK, I need some help with this mobo. Got an Intel DG965WH mobo with a Celeron D 2.53 and a couple of 512mb DDR2 sticks, 1 Kingston Valuram 533 and 1 G.Skill 667.

Now, for some reason, the board was BSODing with both sticks in on a reboot. It'd boot fine once, but a reboot would cause the BSOD. It was fine with either stick. Now, I tried manually setting the timings to something that might be compatible with both sticks and keep it from BSODing and now.... well, the damn thing won't boot with either stick. And further, I can't seem to reset the BIOS. I've pulled the battery and unplugged the board, and tried all the different jumper positions ("Normal" "Configure" and "Recovery") nothing seems to help. Anybody know how to actually reset the BIOS on an intel board?

If i were you i would leave the board with the battery plugged out for at least couple of hours. Then try to boot with only one stick and no OCing.
It also might be BIOS issue. It happened to me that three GigaByte GA-965-DS3 failed to boot anymore after a DDR667 stick was plugged in. You should ask for tech support from intel about it. I don't see how you could make some mistake except it's a BIOS issue.
