Issue with overclocking leading to failure of Windows 10 installation!
Hey guys,
A few hours back I adjusted my RAM settings via the BIOS from the default speed to XMP. When I tried to save and exit, it confirmed the changes but changed the bclk frequency from 104 to 100—something I don’t recall altering. After a restart, Windows just restarts with no splash screen, then powers back up after about three minutes. I turned off the PC, unplugged the power supply, and restarted it again, but it kept saying “overclocking failed, please change your settings in the bios.” I went into the BIOS and reset everything to defaults, yet the issue persisted. I then performed a CMOS clear, which caused the PC to restart after five seconds of being on, leading to a boot menu prompt reminding me to set SATA configuration to RAID mode via F1. Once in the BIOS, I checked the boot order and double-clicked the SSD used by Windows 10, which loaded normally. Finally, I restarted my PC to see if it would load automatically, but it still didn’t.
What can I do?
The Cmos reset button would be the simplest method to restart the system, as the i/o shield on the back is removed from the computer. If it's absent, you'll need to consult your motherboard manual and use the included jumper, which is already present on the board.
In the boot menu, check if fast boot is enabled. Disable it if necessary and verify if this resolves the issue. Also, within the boot menu, ensure the csm section has the correct UEFI/legacy order.
Attempted several times without success. The only outcome is a restart followed by entering BIOS.
I have turned off fast boot but the issue remains unchanged. Here are my CSM settings:

I understand, I can load the drives manually to confirm they function, but I'm puzzled as to why it isn't working on its own.
