Correcting the issue with system boot failures due to overclocking
Usually these boards aren't ideal for overclocking. You might want to update the BIOS with the latest version instead of just reinstalling the default one. This could resolve some problems from the original release. It's unlikely your PSU is the cause since it seems adequate, though I'm not sure. Could you also provide a screenshot of the error message if you can?
SgtScream asks for a picture of the message.
colelouiscloud suggests updating the BIOS to the latest version instead of reinstalling stock, possibly fixing issues from the original release. They doubt the PSU is the cause but offer to capture a screen capture of the error if needed.
To the BIOS part, they mention running the newest F2 and consider re-flashing or downgrading to F1, noting cooling should work with their AMD stock fan setup.
You might consider simply flashing the newest BIOS update. If that fails, reverting to the original version could help. Your CPU and motherboard may not be designed for significant overclocking. Not all chips are equal, and VRM components on those boards typically aren't built for heavy overclocking. It might be possible in small amounts, but not extensively.
I attempted a high voltage with a suitable multiplier, but the computer still wouldn’t boot. If I had to act now, I’d switch to another power source to check if the system receives enough power. Although it seems you have sufficient wattage, the PSU could be outdated and failing, or it might be defective. I’d probably go to a nearby hardware store to buy a 600-watt unit for testing. If the problem persists without needing that temporary supply, you can take advantage of the return policy. If the issue isn’t related to the power supply, then the next possibility is the motherboard.
You might want to simply flash the latest BIOS update. If that fails, consider reverting the BIOS back to its original version. Your CPU and motherboard may not be designed for heavy overclocking. Not all chips are equal, and VRMs on those boards typically aren't built for it. Even a small boost to 3.6GHz doesn't succeed, so you'll likely need to reflash or downgrade.
SgtScream explained the situation, noting the excessive voltage used and the computer failing to boot. They suggested checking another power supply to verify power delivery, mentioning the PSU might be outdated or faulty. If the problem persists after testing, they advised considering the motherboard as a possible next step. The explanation also touched on capacitor degradation affecting current capacity.
Thank you for the input, for now I'll hold off on upgrading my PC with a 750w PSU and Ryzen along with a GTX 1060 6gb.
