i was experimenting with the ram speed and trying to overclock it, but when it shut down it wouldn't post or load anything. i have a ryzen 5 3600x, viper ram, and a b450 tomahawk motherboard with some led indicators on it. the led's light up for the cpu.

Disconnect the PC from the wall power source, remove the CMOS battery for a minimum of five minutes, and press the power button several times (the PC won’t start, but that’s okay). Then attempt to shortcut the COMS pins again, ensuring you hold them for at least ten seconds. After that, reinsert the battery, connect the PC, and test its functionality. You might also try removing the RAM and inserting it into a different slot (if applicable, take one stick out of a kit). Good luck!

Turn off the CMOS by connecting the two pins on the motherboard labeled CLR_CMOS or similar, and remove power just in case you made the mistake.

I've restored the CMOS, yet the indicator light on the motherboard remains active for the CPU.

The motherboard provides you with a specific code.

With a speaker, the beep code will indicate the issue. If it isn't visible on the motherboard, obtain one and attach it.

Hey there, friend. That's twice as many issues I've faced because of the CMOS on my computer, and I really couldn't figure it out. I was scared I'd have to take the CPU out and return it with the warranty. I removed the battery, but I'm not sure if I had pressed the power button or not.
