Check if your motherboard is dead by looking for signs like no power, no fan noise, or failure to boot.

HI brothers, i need your assistance. I was overclocking my FX 8350 with an ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 motherboard during winter. I thought the board could handle the overclock and aimed for a 4.5. It worked well initially, but I tried a 4.7 with a voltage of 1.5. The stability improved, then I started playing GTA V. When the game launched in-game, the PC froze and I had to shut it down. Now the PC starts up and goes to the Microsoft logo, but I don’t want to open the desktop even though I reverted everything in the BIOS. There’s also a white bar appearing when I go to the vertical white line in the BIOS with colored dots. Could you help me? I have a 390x, 750 bronze plus color master, and a 240 AIO cooler for the CPU. I visited the forum at for advice, but it didn’t help. The CPU isn’t fried, just fine.
How did you record the FX 8350 CPU details?
Did you rely solely on the motherboard BIOS CPU multiplier adjustment?
Or did you adjust the base clock frequency, which was already set at 200 MHz in the BIOS?
First, if you can access the BIOS, verify the HT speed and NB speed settings.
Set both to 2000 MHz.
Ensure the CPU and memory bus clocks are also configured at 200 MHz.
Restore the core voltage to its original value of 1.3650V.
Apply these changes in the BIOS and restart the system to check if any BIOS corruption issues are resolved.
Also confirm that Windows loads properly into the desktop mode using Microzome.
Shaun asked about the FX 8350 CPU clocking method. He wondered if he adjusted only the motherboard BIOS multiplier setting or also modified the base clock frequency of 200 MHz in the BIOS. He suggested checking the HT and NB speeds in the BIOS, setting both to 2000 MHz, and ensuring the CPU and memory bus clocks are at 200 MHz. He also mentioned resetting the CPU voltage back to 1.3650V, saving the changes, restarting the system, and verifying if it resolves any BIOS corruption issues. Additionally, he confirmed Windows loads properly into the desktop mode Microzome. He noted that he previously returned the CPU to its original frequency and voltage.
