Issue with overclocking Ryzen APUs and boot failure
Hi, I recently purchased the Ryzen 5 3400g Apu with an ASUS TUF motherboard. The first issue was that the motherboard was outdated and it didn’t boot initially. I took it to a repair shop to replace an older Ryzen Gen APU and update the BIOS for the third generation. It worked for a few days. Then yesterday I decided to overclock the VRAM of the Vega graphics card to its maximum setting. After restarting, the PC restarted again but didn’t show anything—no boot to BIOS either. I tried using the CMOS jumper, removing the battery, and checking the components like CPU, GPU, RAM, and motherboard for damage, but everything seemed fine. Is there another way to reset the BIOS or a solution to fix this problem? I need help because I can’t afford to replace the motherboard or CPU. Thank you.
Did you adjust any voltages while boosting the mem clock? Choosing the highest speed setting clearly wasn't wise. Doing an OC in the proper way will be rewarding and improve performance, whereas simply cranking everything up can cause problems. It’s better to learn about OC techniques first before attempting again.
i haven't adjusted the voltages on the cpu. what i did was change the ram setting from auto to 3g (the highest option) and then the issue occurred. i've reviewed the manual, and it mentions my motherboard has only 2-pin jumpers. it says i need to use a metal object to short them. but it wasn't clear which pin or how long to hold to properly short the current.
