First, your cpu is not dead. It takes considerably more to do that.
Tell me how you resetted CMOS. Did you use the jumper on board? Was power
cable removed from the pc at the time, if not, pull and repeat.
Did you place back the "clear cmos" jumper as it was before? If not, do so.
One possibility is your bios data might have gone bad.
I've been there myself, overclocking too much, but a proper clear cmos
brought me back on track again.
In any case, if you do get your pc up and running again, leave memory speed
in sync with fsb. Do not set to 200, if you use 166MHz fsb. Performance will
be worse.
