I encountered an issue with my MSI B450-a Pro MAX Ryzen 3600 G. The RAM is running at 3600 MHz instead of the expected 3000, and I can’t boot into BIOS. The screen goes black. I’ve moved the sticks around and removed the CMOS battery, but it’s still not working. Did something go wrong or can I fix it?

The voltage you adjusted for your DRM at the SOCC was not specified.

Adjusting the frequency excessively isn't the issue. Power, though... How long did you leave the CMOS battery unused?

I just realized it might help to step it out for a minute and that worked. Thanks!

If nothing else works, consider flashing the BIOS this way. Great that it’s now functioning.

On boards lacking a distinct CMOS button, I typically secure the exposed terminals using a screwdriver after taking the battery out.
