I increased my CPU's speed and then neglected to shut it down during the night, resulting in this issue.
yesterday i was working in vmware then had to sleep. i forgot to shut down the pc. the cpu is an i7 6800k and i overclocked it to 4.2 ghz. now i don’t get any signal on both monitors. my motherboard is x99 a ii. the gpu is a gtx 1070, ram 16gb, 1 ssd, 500w psu, 2 hdd. please help me. i need to edit a video as quickly as possible. at first it refused to turn off, then when i try to power it on it just shuts down completely. after resetting bios for two hours it turns on without any signal.
The stress on the CPU seems excessive. Are these voltages the ones configured in BIOS or were they measured directly? The motherboard might be adding extra voltage beyond the BIOS setting, which could worsen the situation.
If you confirmed the OC settings, your CPU likely failed. If not, it's possible another component's firmware was affected—though this is uncommon.
You can test with another PC to verify if the PSU, GPU, or RAM are causing the issue. If none of those are involved, the problem is probably the CPU itself.
It seems you overheated the CPU. The voltage you were using was between 1.4 and 1.3 volts. Motherboard model x99 Asus.

If you confirmed the OC, your CPU likely failed. If not, it could indicate a firmware error that removed another component's firmware. This is uncommon but possible.
With another PC available, you can inspect the PSU, GPU, and RAM to eliminate other causes. If none of those are affected, the issue is probably the CPU itself.
