Hi,
So recently, I tried to overclock my RAM. It was fine until I changed the ram's timings. When I reboot my pc, the monitor received no signal but all of the motherboard LED were just fine.
I've tried to clear the CMOS by removing the motherboard's battery, booting the pc without the battery and connecting 2 clr_CMOS pins on the motherboard. None of them work.
Are there anything I could do to fix the problem? Or my pc is dead and I need a new motherboard?

To clear CMOS:
Remove the battery. Apply pressure and hold the power button for 20 seconds. Allow 10 minutes. Return the battery.
Or..
Disconnect the clr_cmos pins for at least 15 seconds.
Pc will not boot if the CMOS battery is missing or dead, or if the pins stay shorted.

How long did you leave the battery out.

I understand you're wondering how long it usually takes, sometimes people just replace the component and it works again. And honestly, you're still dealing with the same issue. Maybe you're out of luck. But something interesting happened with a friend—he simply removed his RAM and put it back in, and it worked instantly. It's not very clever, but you can try that too. If it doesn't fix things, you might need to get a new motherboard. It's frustrating, but this can be useful for learning. RAM is so unpredictable when overclocked. It took me a few days just to confirm everything was stable[/B]

Taking out a single stick of RAM could help because it alters the hardware arrangement, prompting the BIOS to modify its behavior and likely restore the correct RAM configuration.
Standard default configurations for unstable BIOS systems are 3 attempts or failures before reverting to the last known stable setup. Why isn't this happening?
