Help resurrecting ITX rig?

Seen as the E-350 is pants for OCing, I've been lowering my timings and folding on them each day. 9-9-9-24 @1.5v is stock, 8-8-8-20 @1.58 was stable 7-7-7-18 @1.6v was stable, 6-6-6-18 @1.62v- Ah... The Gigabyte board is supposed to reboot at stock clocks after so many seconds of a failed OC, but isn't doing any such thing. I've taken the power chord out, the BIOS battery out and the RAM stick out - all to no avail - any ideas? Not even getting to the BIOS screen at the moment and the reset button does nothing. Surely 0.02v didn't kill it

Solved, had to leave the battery out for about five minutes and take out power chord and switch the ram module to the opposite lane then put back in the proper lane and switch the PSU off
 
Bet you had a nerve wrecking few moments waiting for it to show signs of life

I live with a bunch of gamers and I don't think they get it at all why I spend so much time with

my pc not even turned on, with it in pieces on my floor lol.

The people I live with all have expensive rigs, not self builds though and they don't get it at all, As

long as they can play whatever recent game they are playing that's all that matters.

They ask why I play with things when they are working fine. But to me this rig is like a giant arduino

(electronics kit) to be poked and prodded and played with.

I get just as much if not more pleasure from assembling, disassembling, OC'ing and cleaning

(yes, I did just say cleaning

) my rig than I do playing any games.

It's not all about games for everyone

I nearly had a breakdown when my mate opened his

pc the other day, it was the worst case of cable management I have ever seen. It is a

Packard Bell, obviously they don't care much for the inside aesthetics[font=arial, sans-serif] of they're box's.[/font]

[font=arial, sans-serif]Oh, and i'm not knocking gamers, the opposite in fact, I love to game, i'm just saying[/font]

[font=arial, sans-serif]that people get pleasure from they're computers in ways other than just gaming. Some[/font]

[font=arial, sans-serif]people just don't get that at all

I only bought instead of a phone, will work out as a nice laptop alternative for my parents when they finally realise transferring their family photos off their current machine's dying hard disk would be safer than leaving them on it with no backup. Using the ITX rig to type this
