    reset the bios first. unplug power, battery out, hold power button down for 30 sec try boot it up, if that doesn't work remove power cable, battery out and remove cmos battery for 30 sec put it back and try to boot again and it should work.

    if you are getting 4 beeps prior to overclocking then its something else, if its after OC then reset bios should do it. if those two method can't help you reset bios you might have to blind flash back to default bios and reflash to an overclockable bios agian.

    its been so long since m18xr2 i barely remember anything.
