Failed to auto overclock; system is offline.
Hello,
After attempting to auto overclock my CPU using AMD Overdrive, my computer stopped working. I wasn’t present when it failed since the process takes time. Now, when I power on the machine, the fan lights flash and the system barely starts before shutting down completely. Pressing the power button doesn’t work. Replacing the PSU restores the fans for a short moment before returning to normal. I removed the CMOS for five minutes and reinserted it, but nothing changed. Did any component fail? Was it the CPU, motherboard, RAM, or PSU?
Don't rely on auto overclocks; voltage isn't something they consider. Check your motherboard for any signs of damage. Focus on the power delivery and CPU socket—I'm sure you'll notice some visible issues. If possible, try another board and PSU.

It seems the PSU's safeguards are activating. If this occurs, it indicates a problem with the PSU, CPU, or motherboard. Some damage occurred during the overclocking, so the applicable warranty is no longer valid.
