Hi
I'm having trouble fixing this problem. I used the Ryzen master utility to boost the RAM speed from 1033mhz to 2000mhz. After restarting the motherboard, it didn't respond. I removed the CMOS battery for an hour, reset the BIOS with a jumper, and changed the RAM channels. Is it possible that something is damaged, just by increasing the speed?
Ryzen 5 1400
Asrock a320m dgs
8gb samsung memory, single stick
Amd rx 460 2gb
That's some insane increase there. Don't jump frikkin 1k MHz at once, in reality you increased by 2k MHz there because everything is multiplied by 2. These things need to be done very slowly like 50MHz at a time.
If you did all you said and it does not boot then you have definitely damaged something. Try see if you can get some other RAM and test it.
Well Ryzen won't function with 4000 Mhz RAM (that's the speed you configured), I'm not surprised you might have harmed the memory controller in the CPU. Step 1, switch to another RAM, if that fails, consider returning the motherboard and CPU.
That's a significant jump there. Don't rush the 1k MHz at once; in reality, the increase was 2k MHz because everything doubled. These adjustments should be made gradually, around 50MHz at a time. If it doesn't boot after that, you likely damaged something. Try replacing the RAM and testing it. Thanks for your reply—so you think it's RAM?

That's a huge jump there. Don't rush up to 1k MHz all at once; in fact, you only increased by 2k MHz because everything doubled. These adjustments should be made gradually—around 50MHz at a time. If you followed what you said and it still doesn’t boot, it’s likely something is wrong. Try replacing the RAM and see if it works. Thanks for your reply, so you think it's RAM? Probably, just one more check to confirm. Remove the CMOS battery with the power supply disconnected from the wall to ensure a fresh BIOS reset. If that doesn’t help, then it might be the RAM or even the CPU.
Took a borrowed ram stick, managed to start the system, reset everything back to defaults and it works fine! Looks like this silly tinkering wasn’t caught. Memtest showed no issues. Oddly enough, I removed the battery and left it out for hours, multiple times with and without jump reset, but when it booted again it was the same as before—black screen. It seems the BIOS didn’t actually reset. Thanks for your help.
