So, I just assembled a decent PC for a project. Before putting Windows in, I tweaked the BIOS settings. Since I'm using the Pentium G3258, I attempted to boost my CPU speed to 4.2 Ghz with the default cooler. But it won't even start! Need some help, please.

Remove the coin battery from the board or connect the CMOS reset jumper pins together on the board, then attempt to start again in small steps.
