    Hi guys, I had my computer running last night testing it. I ran all the normal tests, and everthing was fine. After that I installed windows vista home (just for now, moving to linux when this thing works)

    Today I tried overclocking the CPU, I got it up to 2.7GHz (its the E6300) just fine. But when I tried to get it further things started going wrong, so I went back to the stock settings for the bios.

    Now my computer powers on (might show the P5K-V screen) then off, then on, then off . . . . . . (will contiune to do so until I flick the PSU off.)

    After clearing the CMOS again I have the same problem (I just pull the battery out, because the Jumper is under the q-connector). I have left it out for a long time (15mins) and still nothing. I don't know if its the PSU or motherboard.

    I have also tried unpluging everthing except the board. And after that I took out 1 stick of ram, un pluged the all the fans, and still the same problem.

    If you could help me fix this that would be amazing!

    My system

    -P5k-V
    -Intel Core 2 DUO E6300
    -2x1GB corsair RAM (667MHz 4-4-4-12)
    -320GB seagate SATA hard drive
    -LG super multi drive
    -2x120mm FANs
    -Zalman 9500LED
    -Antec True power trio 430watts
