I just increased the overclock of my i5 6600k from 3.5 to 4.2. I adjusted the voltage and saved, then exited, but now everything is a black screen. My fans are spinning and the motherboard light is on. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP THE SCREEN JUST TURN BLACK THEN NOTHING. This is my first time unplugging my PC and it does the same thing, helpppp.
