Overclocking Amd 3000G encountered issues.
Overclocking Amd 3000G encountered issues.
Hello, I'm a new PC builder and recently assembled a budget system that performed well for the initial couple of days. After deciding to overclock it, I had no idea how to manage the Gigabyte BIOS and might have accidentally raised my SoC voltage too high. The machine stopped working immediately, still running but with no video output. Someone, could you assist me? I've been struggling for days trying various fixes—from swapping RAM to replacing the CMOS battery. My specs are: CPU - AMD 3000G, Motherboard - Gigabyte B540M Gaming rev 1.0, PSU - Corsair VS450, RAM - Crucial Ballistix 4GB DDR4 2666MHz x2, Graphics - Integrated.
I was reviewing LowSpecGamer's video about the AMD 3000g. I attempted to replicate his settings but struggled with entering a period in the gigabyte BIOS. It seems I might have entered 12625 and other excessively high values for the CPU and GPU. Edited February 15, 2020 by Noeyedye
Taking out the CMOS battery and allowing it to rest should restore everything to its original settings.
I believe I forgot it overnight and the CMOS reset likely happened. I set my lights to pulse in BIOS, then the battery drained and stopped pulsing, which probably signals a reset. Edited February 15, 2020 by Noeyedye
I attempted to identify the issue by checking if certain parts were causing problems. First, the PC started up correctly with 2, 1, and 0 RAM sticks installed, but it wouldn’t turn on without the CPU. Then, I connected my phone to the MOBO’s USB port and it charged normally, suggesting the RAM might be the cause. Updated February 15, 2020 by Noeyedye
Second generation APU specifications (such as 2200G) indicate a 3.8GHz CPU running at 1400MHz, GPU operating at 1.4V core voltage (read from hardwareinfo64), and a SOC voltage of 1.1V.
