Well you're going to have to reset the bios....

2 ways to do this on most mobo's...

*but*

FIRST make sure you unplug your computer completely from the wall or you could have a fried computer.

Option 1) (best one)
There should be a reset bios jumper somewhere on the motherboard (should be labeled somewhere). Usually a 3 pin...Move the jumper over, leave it for a few seconds and move it back.

Option 2) Pull bios battery. Wait 5 min or more...Reinsert

Good luck.

If I was your dad I'd kill ya too!

Glad I could help.

Do I now get a temple or altar in the Church of Taldren?

You should repent, as you did break one of my 10 commandments - Thou shalt not covet thine father's computer for overclocking rituals.
