Hello, after switching to presaved settings in MSI Afterburner and slightly overclocking, I clicked apply. Then I powered off the computer, reinserted my RAM sticks, but it didn’t boot up. The fans ran loudly for GPU and CPU, while my mouse and keyboard didn’t connect via internal USBs and no prompt appeared on the screen. My system would run for about ten seconds before shutting down again and repeating the cycle. After reinserting the RAM sticks, graphics card, and resetting CMOS with a screwdriver, I still faced issues. I’m reaching out for help if anyone can assist me. Thank you in advance!

Consider trying a different approach and avoid those OC programs.
