Through testing, I found memtest reporting a ton of errors on my ram (2x1gb of ballistix) so I tried going into my bios to reset my memory to defaults, by SPD.
That was the last time I was able to boot. My monitor hasn't even turned on since then - no POST, nada.
I have tried swapping memory slots. I following the instructions for resetting the cmos (the normal hard reboot wasn't letting me into the bios like it did when I was overclocking originally)...
The machine turns on, all my fans go to 100%, and that's it. Removing all ram gives me a repeating 3beep code, but other than that, nothing seems to make any difference. I've already got an RMA in with newegg (didn't realize how easy it'd be) but I don't think I'm quite done testing yet. I don't have access to any 533 memory in case it's a voltage issue, but I had no issues when initially configuring everything...
Any help or thoughts on what I can do from here?
