Computer trouble

I recently built a computer, and it's been working fine until I REALLY tried to overclock it. I couldn't find HTT Core speed, so I assumed it meant PCIe Core because that was the only other core speed I could find (I know, sounds stupid, but here is the kicker). After I found this, I increased it by increments of 5 MHz until I realized that the example they used for the speed was ~200 while I only had 130. I increased it straight to 150 MHz and started 3DMark05. It just shut off in the middle of this, and now when I try to start it it doesn't get past the boot menu. I can't even go into BIOS to change the speeds back to the default. Anyone? Do I need a new BIOS chip or is something fried and I'm completely screwed?
 
Just Reset the Bios settings by moving the jumper (look for the directing in you motherboard manual or online) to a different setting thus clearing the bios then setting it back and all should work fine. Unless you fried something which with todays technology is actually kind of hard to do.
 
Yes clear the CMOS. Some manufacturers also have you remove the CMOS battery in addition to moving the jumper. That should do it.
 
Thanks alot guys! Now, do you have any clue of what I am talking about with this overclock? Is PCIe Clock the same as HTT Clock? I don't see an HTT clock on my BIOS so maybe you would know where to find it.
