I used a special switch called game mode, which forced me to restart my computer. Then I tried hitting the power button again, but the screen went black immediately without coming back up. If you have Instagram DM me @arcayzisidk and I'll send you a video showing exactly what happens when I try turning it on.

Often you have to short a jumper to reset your BIOS, so read the motherboard guide first.

I think you should avoid using the Ryzen Master app to change your CPU's speed settings. Instead, just reset your system's memory settings by unplugging it for a minute or two before turning it back on.

That attempt failed, so it's not working for me.

You might have to cut a wire to reset the BIOS and read the manual instead.

I don't know what overclocking does, but on my Ryzen Master card I turned all cores down to 4.25 and set the voltage to 1.25. Everything worked fine with lower temperatures and better scores for me. Is cutting the CPU speed worse for my Ryzen 9 3900x? Will doing this shorten how long my processor lasts? My motherboard is an X570 Asus Crosshair Hero cooler, Master AIo ML240R TNX.
