Today I received a new CPU (Ryzen 5 2600) and installed it without much trouble. As soon as I powered up my PC, I noticed an American Megatrends display indicating the CPU change and warning about high voltage. (Operates between 2.4-2.8V). Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Remove the CMOS battery and restart the BIOS settings to check for resolution.

Yes, CMOS acts as the power source between the input/output and the CPU.

It should be a small silver button cell about 2cm wide. You’ve likely followed the steps correctly—removed the battery, turned off the power, held the power on button, and left it out for 10–20 minutes before reinserting. If that’s what you did, your power supply might be the issue. Do you have another one to try?

I've switched to another power source and kept the battery idle for about 20 to 30 minutes. Also, I disconnected the power cord from the computer itself.

I missed mentioning that I encountered several blue screens with the error code: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA

Check if your motherboard supports manual CPU underclocking.

Yes, that's correct. It means you can't boost the performance beyond its limits, which explains why voltage control isn't possible. You're likely using the most recent BIOS version.

I've made two updates to my BIOS and tested it with a single RAM stick plus additional components.
