Hey guys,
I own an Asus Z170-Pro with Skylake i7 6700k, NZXT Kraken X61, and 2 x 8 GB (16 GB) G.Skill 3400 DDR4 RAM. After clicking on 5-way optimization and starting it, it said the system would restart several times. It only restarted once, but when it seemed back up, the fans and LED lights on the motherboard behaved as if the computer had rebooted again. However, the screen has been black for over ten minutes now. Since my video card hasn't loaded yet, I'm relying on the built-in HD graphics. I'm a bit concerned about this lasting so long. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i don't suggest using a program to boost your computer's speed. if you power it down, unplug it for 30 seconds, and then remove the cmos chip, this will reset any overclocking configurations. after that, you can try restarting it with normal settings.

I haven't ever overclocked anything, yet that seems off.

It advised against manually turning the computer on or off until it finishes, so you should wait for it to complete its task.

I just received your message, nerdboy. What I did was switch it off, but I didn't unplug anything. I turned it back on, and I managed to access the bios and set the default configurations. I think I'll read more before trying again. Thanks for your assistance, everyone.
