Excessive overclocking of RAM can cause instability and performance issues.
i'm worried about my pc after trying to boost the ram from 2666 to 3000. it crashed, restarted, but no display shows up. i think i might have damaged it. if i want to fix it, i need to remove the cmos battery—how do i do that? also, i saw some other posts suggesting i should check the company coupon and maybe replace the power supply.
After removing the CMOS battery, ensure your device is powered on and reset it according to the manufacturer's instructions. If issues persist, consult a professional or check for software updates.
I understand this is late for you, but others saw it. But let's go through it step by step.
Step 1. Shut down your computer and disconnect the power cable from the outlet. You’ll notice a switch on the side of the PC that should be facing an 'O'—turn it off.
Step 2. Lift the cover of your PC. If you have tempered glass, you’ll see four black circles on the edges. Remove them if they’re present; otherwise, unscrew them gently from the sides.
Step 3. Skip this part if you don’t have a graphics card or if the battery is missing. Locate the motherboard battery and remove it. Wait at least 20 seconds so the system can calculate how long it was off and on.
Step 4. Reassemble everything in the correct order.
Step 5. Power on your PC. If you see the F1 key, it means it’s a startup spec. If not, press F2 to boot from the setup and reset settings.
