Help, the PC won't turn on after overclocking.
Help, the PC won't turn on after overclocking.
I recently assembled a PC and powered it on for the first time—it worked fine. I attempted to overclock the Ryzen 1500X, but it won’t turn on at all. After pressing save and exiting, it never activated. My fans are spinning and the LED lights are on, yet nothing appears on the screen. Please help me. I have a Ryzen 1500X and an MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon.
Turn your system on and press the delete key while holding it down. This will take you to the bios. Choose the option to load the optimized defaults, which should reverse your overclocking mistake. You’ll then be able to install your operating system. Next, detach your power supply from the electrical outlet and remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard. Grab a cup of coffee for five minutes. Return and reinstall the battery, reconnect the power supply, and you’ll be back on track.
Consult the motherboard manual for instructions on resetting the BIOS to its default state...typically this involves pressing a specific button or shorting two pins on the board. I recommend waiting a few weeks after installing a new system before attempting to overclock...allocate two to three weeks to learn the proper methods of overclocking correctly.
