Help, i messed up overclocking

[bluedog01]

Okay, at 14, i was pretty stupid for trying to overclock my very old computer, but i knew many people my age with near powerhouses, and i was getting sick of mine. So, i press my power button, and everything seems to activate as normal, but my monitor stays blank. i suspect that i damaged the power supply, but i cant do advanced things, and i cant let my parents find out its broken, so, please, just clear and easy solutions. Thanks so much

I doubt you damaged the power supply. Never heard of OCing doing that to a machine.

Best bet would be to unplug the power and remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes to reset the BIOS.

as my friend told first cut the power then remove the CMOS battery that is like this. You can remove it with a Screwdriver. wait then remember after you plugged the battery again you need to set the time of system setup again too

That right there says you shouldn't have been overclocking in the first place.

I had a bad experience overclocking a while ago. I fried my Athlon 7750 Dual-Core Processor trying to overclock it. Flushed $70 down the drain

Do not overclock unless you know what you are doing.
