home build comp doesnt even LOAD bios... HELP!

Ok, so i've built this decent computer for about $500. I OC'ed the CPU (celeron D @ 3.06ghz) to 4.22ghz with no problems. The FSB was 731mhz. I decided to turn the FSB up to 735 (only a 4mhz increase). So i did. I saved the changes and re-started. The first time, the BIOS just froze after telling me my CPU speed / specs. The second time, it just says "Nvidia 650i Ultra" in its big, shiny letters. It doesnt do anything more. I beleive that to re-set the BIOS, i remove the little battery thing, right? any help appreciated :D *ITS A HOME BUILD - NOT A DELL*

    Normally there is a jumper on the board to reset the CMOS settings. If not, you can unplug the system, press the power button to drain the PSU and pull the battery and wait 15 minutes.

    I would expect that an OC board would have some easy way to reset everything back to a usable state.

    Yep, Yep, Yep.
     
    Just a reset needed.
     
    My mobo has two handy reset switches -- one for password reset, and one for all BIOS settings.  I haven't needed them yet though.
