Hey guys!

So I'm having some serious problems with my new personal rig that I built not too long ago (About a month). My first issue was with the BIOS. I can access the BIOS by pressing F2, but as soon as I move my mouse while in the BIOS, it freezes and I cannot do anything at all. Then, after removing my CMOS battery and restoring the BIOS to it's original settings, I got it to work (The mouse froze, but the arrow keys let me navigate it).

So now that I got it to work, I figured I'd OC my 4690K to 4.4Ghz at 1.24vcore. So I decided to run Planetside 2 to see if my temperatures would go sky-high. Turns out that it made the game run horribly with extremely low fps and distorted audio. So I ran Valley benchmark and it also ran horribly. Now I tried to access the BIOS to restore my clock and voltage to stock, and guess what?

The BIOS freezes as soon as I move the mouse (Also rendering me unable to use the arrow keys this time)

I know this might be tl;dr for some of you, but can anyone help me out? All help is appreciated

My specs:
i5-4690K (4.4Ghz 1.24vcore ATM)
Hyper 212 EVO
Gigabyte GA-Z97MX Gaming 5
8gb Kingston HyperX 1600Mhz
128gb Corsair Force LX SSD (Only had Windows)
1tb Western Digital HDD (Games and everything else)
Radeon R9 280
Thermaltake Core V21
Corsair CSM 650w
Windows 7

All help is appreciated
