Hi,
I haven't used my PC in a while, but after setting it up again, clearing it and switching to Windows 10, I still encounter this error message:
"The system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking.
Last settings in BIOS setup may not match the current H/W states.
Current CPU Speed : 21.0 x 200MHz
Current Memory Speed : 1333MHz
Current HT Speed : 2200MHz"
I can open BIOS or keep using it. If I stay, I land on a blue screen with options like Default, Last known good, or just continue booting. Selecting anything else causes the menu to repeat endlessly. Once I'm running, it functions properly, though it's a bit slower.
I'm not very experienced with computers, but any assistance would be really helpful.
My specs are:
OS - Windows 10
Processor - AMD FX™-4170 quad core 4200 Mhz
16GB RAM
Unclear what else might be needed, but thanks!
P.s. I understand it's not the most powerful setup, but I don't plan to use it for heavy gaming or intensive tasks, just for editing.

Open the BIOS and restore to the default settings.
