"Troubleshooting:
If by some luck you increased your FSFB so much that your computer wouldn't even go to BIOS after resetting it, you will have to clear your CMOS. To do this, open up the left cover of your computer (assuming a basic tower style case). On the motherboard (you know what that is right?) there should be a flat-type battery (usually a CR-2032). Remove the battery, and wait for a minute. Replace the battery. Your CMOS should be cleared. Inserting a similar sized coin to the battery into the battery holder helps (and you won't need to wait that minute). "

Is there a walk-thru help if you OC your CPU on your laptop and it doesnt let you return to the BIOs?

I was/am debating on trying it on my laptop but not sure of the process god forbid I run into this issue with my laptop.

Hey. I am running a DualCore 3.2Ghz Stock, Corsair 1 Gb ValueSelect, Intel D946 series mobo, and a Inno3D 8500GT. Lemme get my facts straight.
Overclocking works by modding three essential elements. V-Core volt, FSB Multiplier, and the CPU clock multiplier. These in their different combination are called OC'ing.
Then, you have the stability. All components have a max over which they start malfunctioning or overheating ( i.e.faster heat generation not minding what ever cooling material you are running ). To handle this you have different cooling such as air, water, phaze which is something completely different and another thing on its own.
Finally you have two types of CPUs. Those with the multipliers unlocked and those with don't. This is what I am interested in. How do you OC a CPU which has its multipliers locked?
