I have an MSI MoBo and I upgraded my FSB too high! I went into my bios and upgraded FSP to 200 instead of 133, which was the highest speed that is safe. dont ask me why i did it... so now the monitor will not show anything when i boot the comp up, but the power turns on... it seems that my mobo will not boop, but all my fans and stuff do. is there any way to reset my mobo/fsb w/o starting my computer up...\?

Yep. Have a look in the motherboard manual for the clear CMOS jumper. Move this jumper to the other two pins for approx. 30 seconds then back to the run position, where the pins were originally. Other than that, you can reset the BIOS by removing the cmos battery and replacing it for about 30 seconds too. Either will work.

Yes look next to your lithium battery and next to it will be a jumper. Look on your manual for the setting to reset CMOS. Once you reset CMOS, it will reset everything you changed in BIOS
