Hi,
So recently, I tried to overclock my RAM. It was fine until I changed the ram's timings. When I reboot my pc, the monitor received no signal but all of the motherboard LED were just fine.
I've tried to clear the CMOS by removing the motherboard's battery, booting the pc without the battery and connecting 2 clr_CMOS pins on the motherboard. None of them work.
Are there anything I could do to fix the problem? Or my pc is dead and I need a new motherboard?
-Sorry for my bad English-
 
Solution
To clear cmos:

Pull the battery. Push and hold the power button for 20 seconds. Wait 10 minutes. Return the battery.

Or..

Short the clr_cmos pins for at least 15 seconds.

Pc won't boot with a missing/dead cmos battery, or if the pins remain shorted.

Yea I know I was asking how long, sometimes ppl just pop that thing out and put it right back in. And damn so you are still having that problem. You might be <Mod Edit> out of luck. But a weird thing my buddy has done is he legit just took his ram out and put it back in and it magically booted. I know it’s dumb but you can always try that. If it still doesn’t work I’d just get a new motherboard. Yea it sucks but use this as a learning tool. Ram is so crazy to overclock. It took me a couple of days just to make sure my ram was 100 percent stable[/B]

Pulling one stick of ram might work as it'll change the physical hardware layout, forcing the bios to adjust, which should reset ram settings.

Normal default settings for unstable bios is 3x attempts/fails or it reverts to last known stable configuration. Wonder why that's not happening.
