If you still can't boot, then press F8 on boot and go into safe mode.

You don't EVER want to OC using any of these auto settings or in OS overclocking, because it will cause nothing but problems.
Thanks for your help... I'll give that a whirl.

You bought an enthousiast mobo that has insane voltages to select , also if you leave most settings on auto and push stuff it will overvolt all stuff... plz make sure before you OC that you are well aware what you are doing !!!
Well we live and learn. I think i'll RMA this processor and then be more careful next time... Thanks!
