Have you tried the suggestions in my previous posts before taking your battery out?
yes, I read multiple threads of people having problems with this here, as well as on other forums.
not only did I press the rear panel clear button, but I did it several times while holding the power on button. and I wasn't just tapping the button, I was holding it down for a good 10 seconds or so. that was with the power cord disconnected, as well as also having tried the jumper pin at the top of the motherboard by itself, although I didn't do it at the same time as the clear cmos button as I believe it disables that button somehow.
every combination of events led to the same overclocking settings that won't allow the computer to boot.
and to make matters worse, i'd just finished the install, with all the settings and applications, browser settings, antivirus/firewall installs, the computer was ready to go to my son.
and i've got xmp enabled gskill trident memory, which showed up right away as 2400. this should have been able to work.
