OC is too high and the PC won't start.
OC is too high and the PC won't start.
Earlier this morning I was checking the overclocking limit for my GPU. Everything was working properly until then, but then the computer stopped functioning. This had happened before if I exceeded its capabilities, so I didn’t worry much. I turned it back on and it froze completely, not responding at all. Attempting to press the power button didn’t help, so I unplugged it. When I tried to restart it, nothing occurred. No fans or lights appeared. I attempted to reset the CMOS, but either I didn’t do it correctly or it wasn’t the issue. My GPU is an older GTX 650 Ti. Any advice?

By the way, did you accidentally set the PSU power switch to off on the back of the case?
At first, after removing the GPU, the fans didn’t move at all.
Secondly, I didn’t unintentionally turn off the PSU—that would be a shame.
I get it, I know this has caused trouble for many serious enthusiasts before. Got to ask.
I really think your motherboard is in bad shape now.
Can we start without using the GPU? Just to make sure everything else works fine.
It's time to restore the BIOS to its original configuration and begin anew.
Disconnect all power supplies (power cord, monitor, speakers). Activate the power button to eliminate any residual energy in system parts. Remove the motherboard battery and let it rest for 30-60 seconds. Install a new battery. Reattach any devices that were previously disconnected. Power on the system. You should now be operating within your motherboard's standard BIOS environment.
It seems you've gone through the process of resetting the BIOS to its default settings and powering it on again. However, the system is still not booting.
Here are the details of your system:
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNova 650watt G2
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 650 TI
Processor: I don't have it memorized (lost the box)
RAM: Two 4GB modules
Motherboard: ASRock 960GC-GS FX
Storage: 250GB 850 EVO SSD and a 1TB hard drive.
