Issue boot loop following CPU overclocking
Issue boot loop following CPU overclocking
Hello! I tried to increase my CPU's clock speed last night. Since I've never overclocked before, I followed instructions from guides and videos. After adjusting the BIOS settings, I restarted the computer. It would briefly power on and then shut off, then restart again. The screen won't turn on, so I can't access the BIOS to revert changes. Can I fix this issue or is there a problem with the computer?
To reset the overclock, you may need to clear the CMOS.

It seems the hardware wasn't harmed.
The bios automatically tries a power on self test three times. If it fails because of bad or corrupted bios settings, it will revert to the last stable configuration. This is common when changing an OC, as it's just a normal occurrence during the process. Most people encounter this, and it's perfectly fine. For future changes, limit yourself to a few adjustments—2 or 3 at most—to help the bios settle on other settings and unknown changes.
